Historians have paid little attention to the lives and contributions of children who took part in westward expansion. In this major study of American childhood, now available again in paperback, Elliott West explores how children helped shape—and in turn were shaped by—the frontier experience. Frontier children's first vivid perceptions of the new country, when deepened by their work, play, and exploration, forged a stronger bond with their surroundings than that of their elders. Through diaries, journals, letters, novels, and oral and written reminiscences, West has reconstructed the lives of the children who grew to become the first truly Western generation.

reviewed Growing up with the Country: Childhood on the Far Western Frontier on September 03, 2015 Growing up with the Country: Childhood on the Far Western Frontier
Oh, this one is a must-read for history buffs, especially for Western-frontier history buffs. And even more than that for history buffs who like to get a fresh up-close view of a historical period and place. And you know what-- if you hang around with youngsters or take them on road trips, you could instruct and pretty much thrill them with the information this book provides! It tells exactly what it was like for very young people to leave their settled homes and travel thousands of miles across rough country to the unknown West-- and what their new lives were like when they arrived. What they ate, what they wore, how they worked, played, and learned-- it's all here in fascinating detail.
