Book Overview
As a U.S. marshal, your job is to keep the law.This interactive series will enthrall young and reluctant readers (Ages 8-12) by making them part of the story, inviting them to become the main character. Each book uses humorous illustrations to depict the sometimes dark and horrific side of life during important eras in history. The Civil War is over, and settlers are moving west across the Great Plains to farm and hunt. Towns begin to spring up, but they are dangerous places to live: the settlers are violent, and the Plains Indians are angry that their lands have been invaded. This new extended edition includes a map, a timeline, and a selection of exciting facts about frontier life.

I think all these books from the "You wouldn't want to be a...." line are great. The illustrations are great, the history seems accurate and even adults will enjoy them. While some of the info may be "harsh" it none the less is true, and shows how hard and unfair it was to survive back in those days (Wild West, Gladiator, Mayflower, Aztec Slave, Cleopatra, King Tut, etc.) We have almost all of them, and we like them all!
