(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Scott Allred & Gregory Proch. This companion to How to Get Rich in the California Gold Rush provides an engaging and clever recounting of a trip westward during the 1850s by the fictitious William Reed. Told through illustrations, photographs, journal entries, ledgers, and other "artifacts," the you-are-there approach will help young people understand the hardships and experiences of early American pioneers. Reading list, websites. Glos.
