  This was, obviously, very similar to The Oregon Trail interactive book. A slightly different take though and quite enjoyable. I like that there was a storyline wherein I got to make choices as though I was a member of the Lakota. The other storylines were a person going out west to work as either a cowboy or on the railroad and a settler. This ended up being a good companion book to The Oregon Trail book.

  These You Choose books have been a great way for my 10 year old and I to learn history this year.
  I love that they don’t tell just one side of the story, but they tell it from the different perspectives.
  This book tells the story of the westward expansion from the point of view of the white settlers, but also from the perspective of the Native American Indian. I wish I had learned like this.

  We read this book for a week. It was a great way to study history from many different points of view. I appreciated how the reality of life at that time was clearly presented in an age-appropriate way.

  A choose your own adventure novel with an historical twist. Readers can take the part of a person traveling along the Oregon Trail, a laborer or a Siox Warrior. I read this aloud with my family on our road trip to Oregon this summer, and we all really enjoyed it!

  In this book, you can take one of three perspectives: pioneer, Confederate veteran, or Native American.
  This reminds me of the CYOA I first read as a kid. I bought this for my 4th graders, and I think they will enjoy reading about history this way. I read all the adventure options.

  An interesting, different approach to incorporating nonfiction into the educational experience. There are three main different routes to take -- a pioneer on the Oregon Trail, a Civil War vet looking for work in the West, or a Sioux warrior. Best for those who want or need to know more about the topic but not those in need of references for reports.

  A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.

  The first time I read this "choose your own adventure" book, I was dead within 3 pages, but the second - fifth times, I really enjoyed the historical perspective. This is a very engaging way to learn about history.

  Ethan read all 19 endings and really enjoyed this book. From moms view, I was slightly dismayed that he read all 19 endings in two sittings. I can't keep enough books in the house!

  Be a pioneer with your book father. Be a lokata warior who died for women and children. Be somewhere that you missed out on years ago!
  To be or to not to be that is the question.

  I love these books but this one i didn't like as much as the other books. This was still a good book but not the best. I like it because when you die in the book you don't just read it once you read it over and over again and it dosen't get boring.
