Good first reference history book

The subject matter seems boring but it is actually a great book once you think about how it applies to today's immigrants. I recommend this book as a great first reference about emigration to the U.S. by the first group of settlers. Of course remember to take the book with a grain of salt as everything is more than likely not true.

A true story of emigration in the 1830s

The book is about the emigration of the Burlend family from rural England to the wilds of Illinois in the 1830s. It gives us a glimpse into the life of this family through the eyes of Rebecca Burlend...the decisions to be made, the sorrow of leaving home for the unknown, and the hardships they would face once they arrived in the new world. As a decendent of this courageous woman and her family, I am proud to recommend this book.
