Abstract	This lesson explores the life of Adeline Hornbek, a single mother of four who became a successful homesteader in Colorado by taking advantage of the Homestead Act of 1862, which allowed unmarried, widowed, or divorced women to claim land as head of a household. The lesson can be used for teaching about the Homestead Act, the western expansion, or units on women's history. The lesson is divided into the following teaching sections: (1) "Setting the Stage: Historical Context"; (2) "Locating the Site: Maps" (Florissant, Colorado and Surrounding Region, 1891; Hornbek Homestead; and Homestead Plots in the Florissant Region); (3) "Determining the Facts: Readings" (The Story of Adeline Hornbek; The Proper Victorian Lady; and Homestead Proof: Testimony of Claimant); (4) "Visual Evidence: Images," (Hornbek Homestead; A Representative Barn); and (5) "Putting It All Together: Activities" (Homesteading; Homesteading in the Local Region; and Researching Important Women).
