Publisher's Synopsis
Now the kids of today can walk in the boots of wranglers of the Wild West. This new addition to the American Kids in History Series transports readers to a cattle ranch near Cheyenne, deep in the Wyoming territory of the 1870s. They'll join 12-year-old Tom as he goes on his first cattle drive, and 11-year-old Amy as she helps the bronco busters tame the horses. And they'll be able to try over 30 fun, simple, step-by-step projects, activities, and games, including making a Cheyenne shield and pioneer cap, playing a buttonhole puzzle game, braiding a cowboy lariat, whipping up a batch of authentic sourdough flapjacks, and more. Learning history has never been so hands-on-or so much fun! David C. King (Hillsdale, New York) is a well-known author of books for children and young adults. He has previously worked as an educational journalist, a curriculum developer in both history and social studies, and a high school English and history teacher.
