The librarian here even went on the Lewis & Clark Trail trip which started in St. Louis. She went 3 years ago and loved it. There are three fiction books by Jane Kirkpatrick (in her Women of the West series) that would be good additions for the older kids - one of the titles is A Fixed Thread - I can't remember the other two offhand. They really bring the time period to life. -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
