More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This title is suitable for children of ages 9 to 12 years. Tracing the vivid saga of Native American and pioneer men, women, and children, this guide covers the colonial beginnings of the westward expansion to the last of the homesteaders in the late 20th century. Dozens of firsthand accounts from journals and autobiographies of the era form a rich and detailed story that shows how life in the backwoods and on the prairie mirrors modern life in many ways - children attended school and had daily chores, parents worked hard to provide for their families, and communities gathered for church and social events. More than 20 activities are included in this engaging guide to life in the west, including learning to churn butter, making dip candles, tracking animals, playing Blind Man's Bluff, and creating a homestead diorama.

Great read for your young pioneer!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Very informative, yet interesting for children, due to the photographs and fun design of the book. Our tween couldn't put it down - she read it cover to cover the day she received it and is now working through the 21 suggested activities. This book would appeal to anyone interested in pioneer life, Laura Ingalls Wilder books, or the history of our country. It begins with the French and Indian War (1700s) and concludes with a story about the last official homesteader. It also contains a 'resources' section in the back, which lists websites and other books about life on the frontier.
