Great Pioneer Projects

Young learners build replica sod houses, log cabins, and covered wagons and create their own printing presses and maps. Historical facts and anecdotes, biographies, and fascinating trivia support the fun projects and teach readers about the American pioneers’ relentless push westward. Together they give kids a first-hand look at daily life on the trail and on the frontier.
