Ok, so 2 months out of commision put us WAY behind schedule, and knowing that I have a baby due at the end of this school year/start of next school year (we go year round), I rearranged our history schedule a bit. So we’re up to the pony express, and the book I had originally planned on reading, we’re not going to because I know it will take to long to get through. So, I was thinking of Riding the Pony Express by Clyde Robert Bulla. Has anyone read that one? Is a good and fairly quick read, that will give them a taste of the Pony Express? Does anyone have any other ideas for teaching an overview of the Pony Express? Maybe a movie or an audio drama or a book on CD? (After all these years, I still want to call them books on tapes!)
Thanks!!
