The Foul, Filthy American Frontier: The Disgusting Details About the Journey Out West

32 pp. | Capstone | December, 2009 | Library ISBN 978-1-4296-3957-6 $23.99
(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Disgusting History series. This volume focuses on everyday life in frontier America, with special emphasis on the rougher, dirtier aspects of living conditions during that time. The gross-out information is all over the place; nevertheless, the hook will likely capture readers' attention. Plenty of captioned illustrations and "Foul Facts" provide supplemental material. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
