I found a very interesting book called Army Wives on the Frontier. It describes the life of pioneer army wives both on the east coast and out on the frontier. Since I am an army wife( my husband retired from the national guard after 22 years) I really found this book to be interesting. I didn't have time to read the whole thing but I set up a bookmark so I can go back to reading it. I haven't read a book on the computer before so I find that my eyes get tired and I can't read as long as I can a regular book.

I looked up Constitution Day and found many interesting books. The Bill of Rights: A Bicentennial Assessment was very detailed but interesting. I also found one The Constitution of the United States- which was just what it is called.

I also found a fiction story that they might read for Constitution Day- America As Story- Historical Fiction for Middle and Secondary Schools. It covers from colonial through modern day and has suggestions for reports.

Finally, I did a search on Nebraska- there were several interesting choices.
Some of these were: African Americans on the Western Frontier, From Fort Laramie to Wounded Knee: The West that Was, Uncommon Common Women: Ordinary Lives of the West- I will go back and spend some more time reading these resources. Looks interesting!
