Pioneer CatEvery pioneer girl should have a cat she takes with her on the Oregon Trail. Nine-year-old Kate Purdy is traveling from Missouri to Oregon by wagon train, and she’s worried. She isn’t worried about how long the trip will be or the hardships she’ll have to suffer. She’s worried about Snuggs—the pretty little cat who took a shine to her and decided to come along for the ride, even though there are no pets allowed on the wagon train. So no matter what happens, Snuggs the cat has to stay a secret! History Stepping Stones now feature updated content that emphasizes Common Core and today’s renewed interest in nonfiction.
