Grandma T and Grandpa Dave travel to Missouri, the Gateway to the West, where Jack, Morgan, and Little Lainey discover how the Pony Express, Lewis and Clark, steamboats, wagon trains, telegraphs, and railroads helped connect a growing country.
Along the way, the children learn why Missouri became such an important starting point for westward journeys, explore the story behind the Gateway Arch, and enjoy memorable moments such as the surprising prairie dog sent to President Jefferson.
