《儿童读物杂志》(Horn Book)书评

In 1844 the Sager family journeyed west; after their parents died, the children had to fend for themselves. Frazier's story is based on the writings of Catherine Sager. This revised edition includes new material but maintains the original volume's then-acceptable invented dialogue and attribution of emotion. It makes the story accessible and exciting but compromises the factual integrity for contemporary readers. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
