From the publisher

Looking back, the days of the pioneers may sound exciting to kids: traveling across unknown land, building new homes and towns from scratch, and eating meals out in the fresh air! But life as a pioneer was difficult–perhaps even more so for kids who had no choice but to follow their families on this great adventure. In this book, today’s readers experience what life was like for a kid living through the journey of westward expansion. Schooling, family life, and more are all covered in the accessible text, complemented by historical images to make each example feel more real and relatable.
