<div dir="ltr">Personally, I think it'd be a weird one to use for Westward Expansion. Though the time periods overlap, Tim Tingle's novel is focused more on the Trail of Tears in the southeastern United States as a result of Andrew Jackson's policy. <div>There are a couple of titles in the Dear America series where the protagonists are actually travelling West.
