Life on the Prairie
After a six month journey across the United States, you finally arrive on the prairie in your covered wagon. It was a long, hard, challenging trip and you and your family are ready for a well-earned rest. However, there is no time for a break yet. The first order of business is to build a shelter. You will have to clear some of your land and construct a sod house. This is no easy task.
