(3) 1-3 My America series. In a series of journal entries, young Joshua McCullough tells of his family's journey along the Oregon Trail in 1848. Joshua's candid, believable voice brings the frontier experience to life on a personal, everyday level, as they face hunger, blistering heat, torrential rains, and both "hostile" and "friendly" Indians. A historical note provides additional information as well as period photographs and drawings.
