The Children on the Plains. A Story of Travel and Adventure in the Great Prairies of North America

London, Edinburgh, New York, T. Nelson and Sons, 1873

“The circumstances wrought into the following story, are true incidents of a real journey across the ‘Plains.’ It may therefore be relied on as a fair picture of such a journey, some ten years ago.” Adventures overland from Ohio to California, first published in 1865. In the 1953 edition of Wagner-Camp, it is noted that this may be written from true incidents of overland travel but “with the usual mawkishness of children’s books of that period.”

Wagner-Camp, 425

Sarah Schoonmaker Baker, 1824-1906
