My Family’s Favorite Children’s Books About Westward Expansion
In this video series I’m sharing my family’s favorite books from our home library.
In this video I share our favorite books we read about westward expansion for our homeschool history lessons. This time period covers topics like the Lewis and Clark expedition, California Gold Rush, Oregon Trail, Transcontinental Railroad, and the Wild West.
These are just our favorites and the ones we had time to read, for the complete list of books check out this blog post:

I loved this video and I’m so excited for this series. Book recommendations are my favorite
Thank you, this is part of our time period for study next year.
This is just what I have been looking for! So excited for this series!
I ordered the Wild West book after seeing this video, it came in and I read it over thr weekend and then quickly ordered the other two American history books he wrote. These books are sooooo good!

@@anotherhomeschoolmom1367 aren’t they great?! They are our favorite American history books 🙌🏼 We studied it for most of the year. It took us about two terms.
How long did y'all focus on the westward expansion? The entire school year?
Thank you for this list! Do you have a physical timeline you recommend to hang in your home?

We actually use a century chart (it’s a 10x10 table) and book of centuries since we don’t have a wall large enough to fit a timeline. There are PDFs for these in my curriculum guides!

I print the century chart on a blueprint (24x36 size) paper from Office Depot so it’s large enough to use
