Welcome to Kirsten's World · 1854: Growing Up in Pioneer America by Jamie Young, David Henderson, Susan Sinnott, Laszlo Kubinyi, Connie Russell

5.0

I checked this out after watching Babbity Kate's 5 hour deep dive on the American Girl Kirsten, and it really is a strong complementary material to the immigrant/frontier world of 1854. Very well balanced with immigrant, pioneer, and indigenous life in Minnesota territory including a chapter on the Sioux uprising (which does not take place in Kirsten's books but would've been something that happened during her teenage years). Some sections remind me of the Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness books which is neat.

I might look for the other Welcome to books later.
