great book!

We love this book. My daughter needed it for a class at school, but it is a great book for the whole family.

The Pioneers Go West worked well in my class

I have used The Pioneers Go West as a literature set in my 5th grade classroom for two years now and will continue to do so. The students like the realism and adventure of the story. It was also a good supplement to our study of the Westward Movement. I recommend it to any teacher or student of history!
