《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 2-5-This brief, clearly organized text introduces readers to homesteading on the Great Plains between the Civil War and World War I. Sharp, full-color and black-and-white photographs vividly expand upon the text and help draw occasional links between the lives of these past settlers and those of Americans in remote communities today. Patent is especially careful to explain the amount and difficulty of the homesteader's work in comparison to the ease with which machines later performed the same tasks. She notes that the political decision to encourage the settlement of the American desert had disastrous consequences for Native Americans. Building a sod house, plowing, sowing and reaping, household chores, schooling, and entertainment are all included. Whether used as a supplement to classroom texts or by students reading and researching on their own, this title deftly depicts a way of life less than a century removed from many of our families.-Coop Renner, Coldwell Elementary-Intermediate School, El Paso, TX (c) Copyright 2010.

Seven short chapters describe the grueling daily life of those who settled the prairies after the 1862 Homestead Act. Topics covered include building a soddy and planting, harvesting, and storing crops. The color photographs--many of which are of cleaned-up museum pieces or houses--may not accurately portray homesteading life, but the text clearly conveys the hard work done by homestead families.
