Great book of the past
My granddaughter (4th grade) loves prairie history and was thrilled to receive this book for Christmas. Her grandmother attended a one-room school house in Nebraska so this book made it even more special.
fascinating reading and fun
It is an unusual look back at American history. unique perspective and very interesting. So well written and stories are so fascinating.
