CADDIE WOODLAWN By Carol Ryrie Brink

Back in 1864 a quiet young girl by the name of Caddie Woodlawn was 11 years. She and her two brothers Tom and Warren managing the woods they own on western Wisconsin. Caddie felt that the outside farm work was meant for her. When winter came people in Woodlawn knew that it was time for the Indians to come and try to kill all white people. Caddie had wanted a change between the American and Indian’s. All Americans from the east would come and stay at their town. Caddie’s mom would cook for all those people. She tried to get to the Indians before dad did. She went to their town and warned the tribe to run “my father is coming to get you!” This was my favorite chapter. Caddie had seen that the Indians were good people and the only way she could stop the massacre scare was to make peace with these people. Caddie was so brave to go approach an Indian by the name of John. To find out how this conflict is resolved read this true story based on a story written by Caddie’s granddaughter
