(4) 4-6 In the 1830s, orphan Joshua joins a road crew to earn money and save his farm. While traveling alone from Indiana to Michigan to obtain supplies, Joshua confronts his preconceived ideas about slavery and Native American rights and his definition of home. Based on true events, the story is interesting and enlightening, despite some overly convenient and expedient events toward the end. Bib., glos.
