Fact and Fiction of the Wild West
Books, television shows, and movies have illustrated the adventures of cowboys, sharpshooters, and outlaws of the Wild West. But many popular stories about the American West have gotten some facts wrong and left others out altogether. Fact and Fiction of the Wild West dives into the myths about what life was like for settlers and Native American peoples in the West and brings the truth to light. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards. Core Library is an imprint of Abdo Publishing, a division of ABDO.
