Danger on the Homestead

What Others Say About DANGERS ON THE HOMESTEAD: "Todd, 9, accompanies his father on the expedition to find & legally register a new home. While the father goes to file on the claim, Todd stays on it overnight & is compelled to defend it against Blackjack Bice, an outlaw who tries to steal it while Todd's father is gone. This is an excellent story about the 1889 run into the Unassigned Lands of what is today central Oklahoma. The author's rich research of this aspect of the run lends a delightful authenticity to this historical novel for boys & girls."--Harold Keith, Two-Time Winner of the Newbery Award. "I love Peggy Anderson's lively drawings. I expect to see more good things from this talented young illustrator."--Gail Haley, Winner of the Caldecott & Kate Greenaway Medals. "It has a strong story line, well-developed characters, it is well researched, accurate in frontier detail; a real good book."--Ken Jackson, Editor, World of Books, Sunday Tulsa World.
