Early Settler Children

By Bobbie Kalman

Book Overview

Chores on the farm, school during the day, and a strict emphasis on good moral behavior left children with little time for play in a pioneer community. But children were a valued part of a settler family. Early Settler Children describes the busy lives of children and how they made their own fun. Topics featured include: - lessons from the Bible - the role of mother, father, and extended family members - farm and domestic chores - children of the miller, storekeeper, and craftspeople - the plight of orphans and child labor - early education - homemade toys, indoor and outdoor games, and parties
