In the untamed days of the American frontier, one family is forced to abandon its New England farm to forge a future in the roughest stretch of Montana, confronting everything from Indian fights to Buffalo hunts along the way.

Courage is the historic adventure novel for readers grades 4 to 7 that charts the travails of one young soul through punishing conditions and constant menace.

With rich historic detail brought to life by its colorful characters and stunning landscape, this vivid and enthralling novel is the ideal resource to engage preteen readers in our nation?s history, while also teaching the value of perseverance, hard work, and unflagging determination.

In addition, the surprise ending will challenge common notions about just who is the fiercest individual on the great frontier.
