Abandoned on the Wild Frontier

This is, as far as I know, the first Dave and Neta Jackson book we have read together. I have read Neta's contemporary fiction, assuming it is the same author and enjoyed them. All of my children enjoyed this from the elementary students I was aiming to, and the older, even middle school siblings that always came to listen in. There is so much action, vivid descriptions of the historical era and trouble, and fodder for conversation in these pages. As we were turning to the last pages, a local friend had a set of Trailblazer Books for us to read, so now we have a half dozen more adventures to go on together.

We own a paperback and a Kindle eBook copy. This was recommended in Sonlight Curriculum K 2020 Exploring American History.
