Teaching Suggestion: The historical images in these and similar resources may help students pinpoint and better understand the time period of the novel. Students might, for example, list details they notice as each image is revealed. They might work in small groups to identify any connecting details and label these with a category name, then discuss or note conclusions they draw about stagecoaches and the time period. Alternatively, students could have some time to look through the images independently at their own pace and choose one on which to focus, then share their noted details with the group. Reading the History article or a similar resource may provide additional historical background that directly connects to the protagonist in the novel. Students might annotate the article for any details that stand out to them and questions they have.
