Daily in a covered wagon

I enjoyed using this book with my elementary students. The language is is not too technical. It doesn't go into too much depth. The photographs are great. The book really gives a sense of traveling over the continent on a wagon.

It was a great help in turning out a history that was more than names, places and dates.
