Patty Reed's Doll - The story of the Donner Party - A wooden doll recalls the hope with which a group of pioneers begins their journey and the ordeals they face as they travel from Springfield, Illinois, to California.
Patty Reed's Doll tells the story of the Donner Party, a group of pioneers who made a wrong decision to follow an untried cutoff as they journeyed to California. They found themselves trapped in deep snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains during the winter of 1846. Stranded without sufficient food less than one-hundred miles from safety, they faced the bitter trials of starvation, illness and death. This account is told through the eyes of a tiny doll which eight-year old Patty Reed kept hidden in her apron pocket. The story is appropriate for teaching the Westward Movement and California history and does not go into the bleaker facts of this harrowing event.

ADOPTED BY INDIANS By THOMAS MAYFIELD - The children's version of our best-selling title Indian Summer, this book gives younger readers a close-up view of traditional California Indian life and early California.
Thomas Jefferson Mayfield kept a wonderful secret for almost sixty years; the secret of his childhood among the Choinumne Indians of California's San Joaquin Valley. For twelve years he played and slept alongside Choinmune children, he hunted and fished with them, ate their food and wore their clothes. Antelope and elk roamed the valley, fish filled the rivers, and millions of birds darkened the skies. Adopted by Indians is the story of a boy who had an adventure that we can only dream about and it is absolutely true.
Adopted by Indians has been approved by the California Department of Education and is listed in the Instructional Materials Approved for Legal Compliance Catalog.
Recommended Grade 4 up. Illustrations by Hilair Chism and Rick Jones
