I first read this book in March 1997 when it first came out. Even after three and a half years, and the reading of many more books, this remains of my favorite books ever. It brings the Oregon Trail to life and puts faces on the countless brave pioneers who braved the hardships of the trail to make new lives in the west. The narrator is a fictional thirteen-year-old farm girl from Missouri, Hattie Campbell. Through her diary, written in a voice that truly sounds as if it belongs to a young girl from that time, the reader experiances the events of Hattie's journey west - her friendship with Pepper, a fourteen-year-old girl from the wagon train, the beginnings of a romance with Pepper's brother Wade, and many others. Hattie was a character that I really came to care about, and I was sad to put the book down when it was finished, but since then, I have read it several more times. Kristiana Gregory is an amazing author that has given a distinct voice to each of her narrators in this book and her two other Dear America books. I hope she writes another Dear America book soon; she's one of my favorite authors from the series. I highly reccomend this book to historical fiction fans.
This book was tragic But adventureous. I felt like I was Hattie. It is about a girl who leaves her hometown in Booneville, Missora and heads out west to Oregon. Their are a lot of deaths in the story but none of Hattie's family members died on the Oergon trail so don't worry. I'm eight and I didn't have nightmares for a week but if I were you I would not let anybody under eight read this. they may get scared. There are great characters like Pepper, Gideon, Wade, Ben, Jake and of course Hattie Campell. If you like adventure and danger I recomend this book to you.
I love dear america books, but this one is definantly my favorite. it gives a good picture of the hardships a pioneer on the oregan trail would have to experiance.in the book, Hattie and her parents leave their home to go west on the oregon trail. Hattie doesn't want to leave her best friend or the graves of her baby sisters. the diary tells all about the journey, her sorrows and her joys, her new friends and her new enemies. unlike in some of the dear america diaries, some of Hattie's dreams do come true. I would really recomend this book to anyone, but be prepared, this book is sad.
I've read this book several times over the years, and it's one book from my childhood I still enjoy. Hattie's father wants to leave their home and go to Oregon. Hattie's mother isn't too happy with it because she doesn't want to leave her daughter's graves behind. Along the trail, friendships are made (as well as enemies) and the families face a lot of hardships. I think Hattie is very brave, even if she wouldn't agree with the comment. Her biggest fear is losing her brothers. Hattie has lost so much, and has been forced to leave the only home she has known, yet she is open to making new friends, and these friends are all different. To a husband and wife driving a wagon to a girl not much older than her. Her parents really care about their children, and hattie's love for her brothers is something you don't see a lot. It's one of dear America's best books.
I thought the book Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie was the most coolest book ever because it tells about the past and a lot of sad moments and happy.You can't even put the book down because it's so exciting and mind blowing to found out what happens next!I think the most intersing part in the book was that so much danger was ahead of them and that they can get married at a very young age! And the charcters in the book like Hattie Cambell ,who is 13 is a very caring person and worries about the lost kids and their mother.She can sometimes be jelous,judgemental about people but when she gets to know them she feels bad.Peper,Hatties friend who she meet on the way to oragen is 14 and is a shy person but when you get to know her she can be a chatterbox.She is a also a caring person.Peper and Hattie both worrie about the lost kids and their mother.on the way they see indians and cross a big rushig river
