Ages 9-12
We've all read stories about pioneers settling
the American West in the 1800s --- think LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE.
Here's another fascinating look at that era of history. Hattie Campbell
and her family head West from Missouri to Oregon (along the Oregon
Trail) in a covered wagon in 1847. They face many dangers including
bad weather, disease and even death, but they stay brave and arrive
safely after eight long months.
