Excerpt from Adventures of Pioneer Children Adventures OF pioneer children was written that the rising generation might know the manifold trials endured by our forefathers in laying the foundations of the grandest republic the world has ever known, and to perpetuate the remembrance of the many acts of heroism performed by the younger patriots in the times that tried men's souls. It is hoped that its perusal by the youth of the present day may have a tendency to make them better appreciate the many great blessings and privileges they enjoy, by contrasting their life of comparative ease and comfort with the life of deprivation and peril led by pioneer children. Bearing in mind that the youth of our country is its hope; that by the immutable laws of nature you will soon take the place of those in advance of you, becoming the custodians of those precious jewels, liberty and self-government, bequeathed to us by our valiant forefathers, who purchased them at such great cost - I caution you to see to it that you do not lose them. Preserve them as you would the apple of your eye. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Since discovering the Canadian Flyer, a magical time-traveling sled, in Emily's attic, Matt and Emily have outrun dinosaurs in the Alberta badlands, panned for gold in the Yukon, and seen the Silver Dart soar high in Nova Scotia's skies. In Pioneer Kids, Emily and Matt arrive on the Canadian Prairies in 1910. They visit a one-room schoolhouse where they try to help a new friend deal with a classroom bully. But when a raging fire erupts, it's Emily and Matt who need rescuing! In this, the sixth book in the popular Canadian Flyer Adventures series, author Frieda Wishinsky weaves well-researched and accurate historical facts into her compelling, kid-friendly storytelling, while Dean Griffith's action-packed illustrations situate readers in place and time perfectly. At the end of their adventure Emily and Matt share additional facts about pioneer days, country schools, and prairie fires, and Wishinsky gives additional facts here too, in an informative Q&A format.
