We loved this book while homeschooling. It is a rich and stirring look at life on the Western frontier with original black and white photographs of children and their families.
It gives you a sense of "being there" in the old west and has several stories helping us to understand what these children's lives were like.
It covers American Indians as well, giving you a picture of how they were treated in the boarding schools that they were forced to attend.
Reading level is about 9-12, but everyone will love the photos.
