Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Imagine being asked to explore an unknown part of the country. That's exactly what happened to Daniel Boone in the mid-1700s. Boone and others cut a path through the wilderness of Kentucky and Virginia. Lively language, historical illustrations, and primary source journal entries from Boone and his fellow settlers help readers feel as if they were a part of the journey. Meets Common Core critical thinking standards, and provides strong ties to social studies standards on westward expansion.
"Examines the Wilderness Trail (i.e., the Cumberland Gap) by discussing how and why it came to be and the immediate and lasting effects it had on the nation and the people who traveled it"-- Provided by publisher.
