By the 1840s, daring Americans were trickling westward to begin a new life in the great wide open. When gold was discovered in 1848, the promise of riches drew people by the thousands out to California. But the journey was slow and dangerous, since the best ways of travelling were by wagon and on foot.During the railroad fever of the 1830s, thousands of miles of track were laid, mostly throughout the Northeast and the South.

Monica Halpern lives in Boston, MA. Her previous title in this series, "Railroad Fever," received a starred review in "School Library Journal."

I decided to shelve the teaching for a while and seek out another teaching method, when my copy of "Native Reading" finally arrived. My goal weight remains 200 lbs so
