Keep My White Sneakers, Kit Carson (Frontier Days and Love)

Anyone looking for adventure, romance, authentic American frontier life, and colorful characters, all based on people who actually lived at that juncture in history, can consider reading this book an accomplishment that makes her/his day or week, however long it takes to knock off this book. Throw in a bit of modern science, like the van de Graaff generator, and you have something unbelievable. Holding her own with the very masculine male characters of this novel is Wind-Singing-in-Grass, an Indian princess you wouldn't believe. The book is written for young adults, but anyone young at heart will enjoy it.
