Commentary During Books Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie: The Oregon Trail Diary of Hattie Campbell (Dear America)
Now that we're in the North Platte River Valley the air feels dry and thin. My lips are so chapped they bleed when I talk. The only thing to do is dip our fingers in to the bucket of axle grease and rub our lips every hour or so. It smells bad, it tastes bad, and the blowing dust sticks.It feels like we must be halfway to Oregon, but Tall Joe says, no, we've only gone five hundred miles. He also says the worst part of the trail is to come.
Does he mean more rivers to cross...? I'm afraid to ask what he's talking about.

Continuing my revisit of the Dear America series! Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie was one I really remember loving from my childhood, and it did not disappoint. I remembered certain plot points but was still surprised at others, and the imagery is just as vivid as I remember. A great read for any age!My soon to be 4th grader loves these Dear America books, so when I ran out of my own to read I grabbed one.

Highly recommended for upper elementary kids.

Yeah I'm 27 and I just listened to a Dear America audiobook.And I liked it.
I enjoyed the story. I am a huge fan of pretty much all "Wagons Ho!", fiction, unless it is really bad. I found myself slightly annoyed. It seems that the book was obviously trying to avoid the big SEX word, but kept mentioning things that you know involved sex. I'd rather the subject was ignored completly if you're going to have scenes like the ones where Hattie asks the new 14-year-old brides what it's like to have a husband and they both blush redder than a red crayon. I guess the only things

I loved this book! Our family had just moved from upstate New York to New Hampshire at the end of the summer of 2005. Our daughter Olivia asked me to read this book with her. We started out reading this book together and one by one the rest of our family would gather to hear us read until "it" became the event of each evening or rainy weekend afternoon. I think we were drawn to this story because in our own way, we had left "everything" behind; (family, friends, our church, home, a pet,
