The Trail of Tears was the forced removal of the Choctaw, Cherokee, Seminole, and others by President Andrew Jackson after he and Congress passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830.
Life of the Trail of Tears describes what life was like for the Native American people on the Trail of Tears during the winter of 1838 to 1839. The trail took the Native Americans west to land called Indian Territory. While many tribes walked the trail, this book focuses on the story of the Cherokee. Illustrated with drawings and paintings from the time period and with artists' ideas of how things looked on the trail.

On the Move
The Gold Rush

Read about Daniel Boone, American pioneer and frontiersman! Boone explored Kentucky along with the Shawnee and brought the knowledge of the Cumberland Gap to others living in the East. A living legend in his own day, biographies of Boone are a fantastic "living books" addition to Westward Expansion studies.
When Daniel Boone: His Own Story was first published in the early 1800s, it served to set the record straight once and for all on the mythic Daniel Boone, and established him as a new American hero. The first part of the book is told in Boone's own words and spans twenty-five years of his life, from 1769, through the Revolutionary War, and up to 1784. The second section was written by Frances Lister Hawks as a biography, and traces Boone's life from childhood up to his death in 1818.
