(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. After his parents and sister drown crossing the Kaw River, thirteen-year-old Jedediah elects to remain with their wagon train group traveling westward. In this well-written book, Jedediah's diary entries record the hazards of the journey as well as moments of personal growth when he confronts his own prejudices. An afterword, illustrated with reproductions, places events within historical context.
