Book Reviews of Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell, 1847 (Dear America)
Book Review: An Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is written in the form of a thirteen-year-old girl's diary. She writes of leaving friends and relatives in a Missouri town in 1847 and traveling 2,000 miles on the Oregon Trail with her parents and two younger brothers. It took the family and the wagon train that they were part of about 8 months to make the journey. They traveled across vast plains, deserts and through mountains on their journey from Missouri to Oregon in the hope of a better life. Hattie, the young girl who kept the diary, made new friends, saw Indians, almost all of whom were friendly, large herds of buffalo and such wonders of nature as hot springs. It was a dangerous trip and not all of those who started the journey lived through it. Hattie did a wonderful job of recording sights and events along the way. This is an excellent book for children reading at a fifth or sixth grade level.
