Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Life on the western frontier was no easy feat. Early pioneers packed their lives into covered wagons and set off into the unknown. Readers will learn all about the journey through this age-appropriate text. The historical, non-fiction approach to this period of American history will dazzle readers with its in-depth treatment of clothing, schooling, family life, and more. Fact boxes, engaging visuals, glossary, and index give readers a comprehensive look at Westward Expansion--a formative part of the United States' identity.
