It is 1864, and Caroline "Caddie" Woodlawn is twelve years old. Though her sisters Clara, Hetty, and Minnie, have always been treated like young ladies, Caddie's father has insisted that Caddie be allowed to run wild with her brothers, Tom and Warren, feeling confident that she will come of age when she is ready. In this story, which is based on true stories told by the author's grandmother, Caddie rides horses, associates with Indians, goes fishing with her Uncle Edmund, loses her dog, and plays pranks on a well-bred cousin from Boston, then contributes to an important family decision about the family's future lives as Americans. Like The Cabin Faced West , Caddie Woodlawn explores daily life on the American frontier from the point of view of a young girl. Though historical events are mentioned - mainly the end of the Civil War, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln - these are footnotes for Caddie and her family, who receive news slowly and infrequently. The concerns on the frontier are more immediate dangers, such as a rumored Indian massacre (even though the local tribes are peaceful) and a prairie fire which threatens to destroy the schoolhouse. Even these events are not the central focus; this is really a book about Caddie beginning to understand her identity and role as a woman and looking toward adulthood with hope and courage. In this sense, it is less of a book about history, and more of a very personal story which just happens to be set in the past. This book is a great read-alike for the Little House books, as it is also set in Wisconsin during the same time period, and it covers many of the same types of family experiences and conflicts. The fact that Caddie is twelve should not turn off younger readers, as she is still very much a child, and there is no discussion of puberty as there might be in a more contemporary story. The short chapters and illustrations (done by Kate Seredy of White Stag fame in the earlier editions, and Trina Schart Hyman in later ones) also lend the book nicely to being read aloud to a group of children. There is also a sequel, originally entitled Magical Melons , but more recently published as Caddie Woodlawn's Family , which tells stories from the points of view of some of Caddie's brothers and sisters.

  • Tough Paradise: the Literature of Idaho and the Intermountain West Annotations by Susan Swetnam, Professor of English, Idaho State University
    Tough Paradise: The Literature of Idaho and the Intermountain West Annotations by Susan Swetnam, Professor of English, Idaho State University _ Balsamroot: A Memoir (1994) traces the interlocked lives of three generations of women in the same family: Mary Blew (who now lives in Moscow, Idaho), her aunt Imogene and mother Doris (who grew up on a failed Montana homestead), and her daughters Elizabeth and Rachel. After a life of apparent independent happiness, "Auntie" comes to live near Blew and soon begins to decline, bringing Blew to explore past lives of women in her family and to face her own longings and her own assumptions about what makes a woman's life satisfying and full. Mary Blew, who teaches English at the University of Idaho, grew up in Montana and is the author of two collections of short stories in addition to All But the Waltz (which won the 1992 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Award), and Balsamroot. She co-edited Circle of Women: An Anthology of Western Women Writers.

    The 60th Aniversary of the Kerlan Collection 15 November 2009, 2:00 p.m. Kerlan Collection 60th Anniversary Event Featured Speaker: Leonard Marcus Room 120, Elmer L. Andersen Library Please join us as we commemorate sixty years as one of the world’s great children’s literature research collections with an exhibit and opening reception featuring writer, literary historian, and children’s literature critic Leonard Marcus. This event will be held on Sunday, November 15, at 2:00 p.m. in 120 Elmer L. Andersen Library and is free and open to the public. An RSVP by Friday, November 6th to [email protected] or (612) 624-9339 is encouraged. Sixty years ago, Dr. Irvin Kerlan donated his collection of children’s books to the University of Minnesota. Dr. Kerlan, long-time chief of medical research for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, chose what was best and representative of each current year and, when he could afford it, bought children’s classics and past Newbery winners. It was not long before he took his collection one step further, pursuing the background material that went into making the books. He wrote letters to authors and illustrators, and they replied by forwarding their original manuscripts, artwork, and selected correspondence with editors and children. From the halls of a Washington, D.C., brownstone to the caverns of the University, the Kerlan Collection now contains over 110,000 children’s books, as well as original manuscripts, artwork, galleys, and color proofs for more than 18,000 titles. The anniversary exhibit will be open from 12 November – 31 December in the Elmer L.

  • Caddie Woodlawn
    The History of Caddie Woodlawn Caroline Augusta Woodhouse Caroline Augusta Woodhouse, known as Caddie Woodlawn, was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1853. In 1857, her father John V. Woodhouse decided to take his family west to Eau Galle, Wisconsin. She had four brothers and sisters at the time; Clara, Mary, Tom, and Warren. They all survived the trip to Wisconsin, but within a short time of arriving, Mary died, perhaps from the long journey from Boston. Mary was buried in a very simple grave that was marked by a white picket fence located on a wooded rise of land in the northwest corner of the 160 acres that the Woodhouse family called home. On April 17, 1860, Mr. Woodhouse received and purchased a title of land owned by the United States Government. The abstract for the property was signed by then President Abraham Lincoln. Within the next 10 years, there were three other children added to the Woodhouse family. Hettie, Minnie, and Joe were all born on the farm bought by James Woodhouse. The original house in Dunnville that Caddie grew up in was built in 1856 by Levi Drake. When Mr. Woodhouse bought the house, it was larger. The large kitchen on the west side of the house was removed a couple years later. In the attic above the kitchen Mr. Woodhouse repaired clocks. Located on the banks of the Menomonie River (which today is known as the Red Cedar River) was the Dunnville Store built in 1854. A large lumbering firm, Knapp, Stout, and sons, built it. Here is were Caddie visited often, and met people such as Indian Joe.
