This blog was developed as a resource for teachers who are looking to incorporate high quality and award winning trade books into their social studies curriculum. I have compiled and cited various reviews on these books, and additionally have listed online resources that will help teachers use these books for instructional purposes.

People of the West
People of the West
Written by: Duncan Dayton
"What was life like in the West before the arrival of the settlers from Europe? How did it feel to be the first white woman to cross the Continental Divide? What was it like to live in a house made of sod on a vast, treeless prairie, or to be part of the great California Gold Rush? This engaging volume answers these questions and more, telling the personal stories of 15 people who struggled to make this land their home."
