- Description
Following 15-year-old Elias Gunn, West to Fort Edmonton dives into the early 1800s in Canada as Elias must make the long trip to Fort Edmonton. This historical fiction captures some of the environmental dangers and difficult living conditions faced by early settlers, and includes some exploration into the early relationships between settler and Indigenous communities. The novel could be assigned as an independent novel study or read within a group to explore character and plot development, or even explore connections to historical events. For more advanced learners, this novel could also be explored in social studies as an introduction to historical experiences that could be paired with research assignments for a deeper look into Fort Edmonton or early settler experiences.
