A party of Indian men visited our camp last night! At the sight of them, the fiddles came to a stop. So did the banjos. So did all the people. We just stood and stared. Their chests were bare. Their black hair was braided. They wore deerskin leggings and moccasins. "They're Crow," Captain McCullough explained. Book jacket.

The Saddle Club is heading west--on the Oregon Trail. They are taking part in a re-creation of the famous wagon train ride across the American West. Things may be a little easier for these modern-day pioneers, but they still have their fair share of problems to face. Stevie has to drive their wagon--and wear a dress! She isn't sure which is worse. Lisa, meanwhile, has to contend with a reluctant cow who really doesn't want to walk across the prairie. Even Carole is finding those long days in the saddle a little more than she bargained for.

The slightly true narrative of how a brave pioneer father brought apples, pears, plums, grapes, and cherries (and children) across the plains. Apples, ho! When Papa decides to pull up roots and move from Iowa to Oregon, he can’t bear to leave his precious apple trees behind. Or his peaches, plums, grapes, cherries, and pears. Oh, and he takes his family along too. But the trail is cruel. First there’s a river to cross that’s wider than Texas, then there are hailstones as big as plums, and then there’s even a drought, sure to crisp the cherries. Luckily Delicious (the nonedible apple of Daddy’s eye) won’t let anything stop her father’s darling saps from tasting the sweet Oregon soil. A hilarious tall tale from the team that brought you Fannie in the Kitchen that’s loosely based on the life of a real fruiting pioneer.
