These are historic books reflecting the growth and character of the pioneers: books relating to American history, folklore, or geography or considered to be typical of the American culture.

These books often include amazing illustrations and tales of hardship and peril as the people crossed from the Allegheny to the Rocky Mountains. Local history, Indian lore, regional folklore, pioneer stories, all fall in this catagory.
