Caddie Woodlawn - a young girl who lives in the 'west' (Wisconsin) in 1864 - her life, her family and adventures (including with her dog, and her Indian friend). Caddie is definitely a "tomboy" in an age when that could be frowned upon. Her father encourages her in it, but as she grows up, he also encourages her that it's O.K. to be a woman and do women's things as well.

This is a charming book I've read over and over. A great story for children of all ages.
