Copywork pages tell about different aspects of life in a wagon train on the way to Oregon or California, exploring the hardships, meals, kids’ daily chores, challenges, recreation, and much more.

• 8 paintings of life on the trail by artists of the period, one of which has an outline line drawing for your children to use in order to try their hand at copying the painting
