Caddie is a spunky tomboy in the 1860s who has romping adventures on the Wisconsin frontier. She prefers hunting and hearing stories while plowing rather than sewing and baking. Her character is based on the life and memories of the author's grandmother, the real Caddie Woodlawn.

A Newbery Medal book.
