Covered Wagons, Bumpy Trails

(2) K-3 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. Life on the trail is a rugged trek for one family in this evocative verse account of the westward movement. Spare quatrains sketch the rigors of the road faced by families traveling from the Midwest to the Sacramento Valley. Schindler handsomely augments the clip-clop rhyme with sweeping vistas and close-up views of the wagons, animals, and people through various stages of the journey. A California Trail map and an author's note provide more information.
