(3) 1-3 My America series. In this third book about Joshua, the nine-year-old diarist records his experiences living on a claim with his family in 1849. The concise, simply written narrative describes Joshua's fears when his younger sister disappears in the woods while under his care, as well as his excitement upon learning he will soon be attending school in Oregon City. A note on pioneer life and photographic reproductions place events within historical context.
