Book Description
for Children of the Wild West by Russell Freedman and George Buctel
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Splendid historical photographs and an accompanying text document the lives of white, black, native American and Asian children growing up in the American West during the 19th century. Frontier schools and celebrations are pictured and described as are the wagon train and “settling down” experiences—all from a child’s perspective. Indexed. (Age 7 and older)
