This book was about a pioneer girl in Wisconsin during and after the Civil War.

She had 3 sisters and 3 brothers. She would spend all her day playing with her two older brothers and sometimes make trouble. When her cousin from Boston came (who was very “lady like”) Caddie (and her brothers) started quilting, sewing, and cooking.

near the end of the book they got an offer to inherit a castle in England but turned it down, and Caddie realized how much their home meant to them and so ended the book.

I have moved on to the next part in history, Recontruction age.

I have read Patsy, a freed girl. she was a slave after the Civil War. They still lived like slaves but where supposed to be free. She had secretly learned to read and write while she was a slave. Then when they where freed she became the “school teacher and had a room bult for it. This happend when she was 12 so she was teaching people twice her age!

Finally she whent with a group and went to live as free people.
