Gr 6-8A collection of 12 short plays set west of the Mississippi River during the 1800s, with a few sneaking into the early 1900s. The subtitle is misleading; the vocabulary and number of violent scenes are more appropriate to older audiences. The selections are more complicated than those in Volume I (Smith and Kraus, 1997): there is more use of flashbacks, and some of the topics are darker and more serious. The scripts are filled with songs that lighten the more somber moods (to the extent, unfortunately, of occasionally tinting horrendous historical events with frivolity). Notes are included on the historical background to the plays, and suggestions are given for costuming, creation of sets, and additions that can be made to incorporate the productions into a curriculum. Native American characters are included in good proportion to the representatives of many European cultures. In addition to fictional characters, many historical figures drive the action, among them Mary Fields, Jim Bridger, Jesse James, and Sarah Winnemucca. Schools and youth groups will find these plays to be educational as well as entertaining. The ease of performing them is increased by the simple nature of the costumes and sets and the small number of props needed. Each play has a set diagram, and music is provided for the songs.Darcy Schild, Schwegler Elementary School, Lawrence, KS (c) Copyright 2010.

Gr. 1^-8. McCullough suggests a grade range of kindergarten through sixth grade for his plays, but the levels for each collection can be expanded at least a grade or two, since neither subject matter nor vocabulary have been "dumbed down" for younger actors. Each volume contains 12 plays, most of them musicals, featuring traditional songs arranged by McCullough and some new works. Classroom teachers will appreciate the multicultural sensitivity; the plays concern white settlement and Latino, African American, and Native American themes or personalities. McCullough guarantees audience appeal by presenting amusing and sometimes slapstick portrayals of the Old West, as well as serious treatments of historical events and prominent figures. The K^-3 volume includes plays about Annie Oakley, Sacajawea, cattle drives, gold fever, Mexican vaqueros, George Catlin, and the opening of railroads. The other addresses buffalo hunters, buffalo soldiers, Jesse James, Sarah Winnemucca, bandits, lost treasure, medicine shows, and the ordeal of Gregorio Cortez. --Chris Sherman
