About Caddie Woodlawn
In 1935, Carol Ryrie Brink wrote the Newberry Award-winning book, "Caddie Woodlawn."
Caddie's adventures are based on the stories that Carol Brink's grandmother (the real Caddie) told her about growing up in frontier western Wisconsin in the 1860s.

About Sterling North
Thomas Sterling North was born in 1906 and grew up in Edgerton, Wisconsin.
When Sterling was 11 years old, in 1918, he raised a baby raccoon named "Rascal." Later in 1963 he wrote a book named "Rascal" based on his childhood memories.
In the book Sterling renamed his hometown "Brailsford Junction." The mischievous raccoon and Sterling become best friends for a perfect year of adventure. They swim, fish and explore the countryside together.
