Description
This packet provides a detailed and richly illustrated overview of the Oregon Trail and other westward expansion events. The frontier is defined and demythologized as Hollywood's stereotypical portrayals are replaced with factual--yet no less fascinating and lively--depictions of pioneer life. Events and personalities are vividly described, and challenging review questions encourage meaningful reflection and historical analysis. A test, answer key, and extensive bibliography are included.
