Caddie Woodlawn #1750.
Caddie Woodlawn would rather hunt than sew and plow than bake, and tries to beat her brothers' dares every chance she gets. Caddie is friends with Indians, who scare most of the neighbors-neighbors who, like her mother and sisters, don't understand her at all. Scarcely out of one scrape before she is into another, she refuses to be a "lady," preferring instead to run with her brothers. Whether she is crossing the lake on a raft, visiting an Indian camp, or listening to the tales of the circuit rider, Caddie's adventures are an authentic picture of life on the Wisconsin frontier.
