(4) K-3 Illustrated by Julie Dupré Buckner. In mostly dull free-verse vignettes, Garland gives voice to sixteen participants in the settlement of the American West, both real figures (Sacagawea, Jedediah Smith, George Catlin, Annie Oakley) and unnamed contributors such as a Pony Express rider, an Oregon Trail pioneer girl, and a Buffalo Soldier. Stiff, realistic illustrations set each scene. A dense historical note is appended. Reading list. Bib., glos.
Reviewer: Luther B. Clegg
