Pintsized Pioneers: Taming the Frontier, One Chore at a Time<\/em> gives frontier children their due for all the work they did to help their families survive. Even at early ages, the youngsters helped families make ends meet and handled chores that today seem unbelievable. Written for today\u2019s young adults, Pintsized Pioneers<\/em> offers lessons on frontier history and on the value of work for contemporary youth.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nIn 1850 adolescents 16 and under accounted for 46 percent of the national population, making them an important labor force in settling the country. Pintsized Pioneers<\/em> examines their tasks and toils starting with the chores on the trail west. Children assisted in providing fuel and water on the trail and at home when they settled down. In their new locations the young ones helped grow food, make clothing for the entire family and assist with the housekeeping in primitive dwellings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThese pintsized pioneers took on farm and ranch chores as young as six, some going on cattle drives at eight years of age. Even Old West town tykes, who enjoyed more career possibilities, helped their folks survive as well. In the end, many pintsized pioneers pitched in to help their families make ends meet. Difficult as their lives might have been, the lessons those children learned handling chores helped them and their country in the years ahead. Those pintsized lessons have contemporary applications to the youth of today.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nTargeted at young adults, Pintsized Pioneers<\/em> is written at a ninth-grade reading level and includes a supplementary glossary. Even so, Pintsized Pioneers<\/em> is an eye-opener for adult readers as well.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CLICK TO PURCHASE:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\nBariso Press<\/a> | Amazon<\/a> | B&N<\/a> | Bookshop.org<\/a> | Books-A-Million<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n+Add to Goodreads<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.lonestarliterary.com\/sites\/lonestarliterary.etypegoogle10.com\/files\/field\/image\/04_phlewisbw.jpg\") <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Preston Lewis<\/strong> and Harriet Kocher Lewis<\/strong> co-authored three books in the “Magic Machine Series” published by Bariso Press: Devotionals from a Soulless Machine, Jokes from a Humorless Machine, and Recipes from a Tasteless Machine.
