While more sympathetic than the account in earlier textbooks, this account falls into the trap of repeating as history the propaganda used by policy makers in the nineteenth century as a rationale for removal — that Native Americans stood in the way of progress.
The only real difference is the tone. Back when white Americans were doing the dispossessing, justifications were shrill. They denounced Native cultures as primitive, savage, and nomadic. Often writers invoked the hand or blessings of God, said to favor those who "did more" with the land. Now that the dispossessing is done, our histories since can see more virtue in the conquered cultures.
But they still pictured American Indians as tragically different, unable or unwilling to acculturate. The trouble is, it wasn't like that. This book was a re-read and a visit back to my childhood.
I think the first time I read this was when I was reading all of the "Little House On The Prairie" series since it took place in the same area. This is the story about a young girl who has to make her own place in the world. And her place is Wisconsin. She had many trials of growing up in this story. So in a sense this book is a Bildungsroman story. I am glad that I took the time to revisit one of my favourite childhood stories.
Klatt, my 5th grade teacher, read this book to us and then we went to visit where Caddie lived about 30 miles south of where I grew up. She was a bit older and more aware of what was happening around her.
If you want to read about a pioneer gal who lived in western Wisconsin and was as fiesty as her red hair, read this book. You can go see and walk through Caddie's house. It's a rest area south of Downsville, Wisconsin. I try and get there every couple of years and swing through the logging museum in Downsville. Caddie was a real person story was written by her granddaughter , and there was definitely a part of her still alive in a redheaded girl who lived on the other side of the county in the s.
Luisa Knight. They were secretly married and when the man told his father, he was disowned. One of the brothers likes a girl at school. It is never romantically mentioned, more a show of friendship, but is scattered throughout the book. The girl who received the anonymous Valentine tells the boy that gave it to her that she knew it was from him.
Bosom - not sexual. Breast - not sexual. A fight breaks out and everyone learns a lesson. This causes some concern to the mother and the parents see things slightly different. Mentions a pipe. Mentions Santa Claus. A tobacco jar is mentioned. Mentions a tavern and drinking a couple of times throughout. A man is ashamed of his Indian wife for racial reasons and sends her back to her own people.
She leaves her sons with him. Mentions fairies and witches in a song that is being song. The girl is sent to her room and plans to run away but her father speaks to her about the situation. Later you find out the father punished the brothers too. Parent Takeaway A book about a loving family during the 's. Three of the siblings do everything together and are very close-knit, but they learn to include the young children as they grow up.
Good morals throughout, and the few instances of bad behavior are addressed. Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. So Follow or Friend me here on GoodReads! The best trio ever. I read this over a period of about 4 months. I'm not sure I've ever taken that long to read a book.
But I was reading it with a 6-year-old, a chapter at a time, sometimes one chapter a week, sometimes none. I cried more than a few times while reading: a dog is lost, a reformed bully saves the day, the family makes a great sacrifice for the happiness of Father Woodlawn. Each time, my little reading friend would turn around and smile at me and wipe away my tears. I tend to cry freely when I read and especially when I'm reading aloud.
How Caddie Woodlawn is like Little House on the Prairie: Caddie and Laura are both: tomboys and daddy's girls free spirits the younger sisters of "little lady" older sisters Both stories are about frontier families: Caddie Woodlawn is based on stories Carol Ryrie Brink's grandmother Caddie Woodhouse told her of life growing up on the prairie.
The food, the clothing, the stories of day-to-day life have the same feel. Are we sure Caddie and Laura weren't neighbors? There are a lot of encounters with Native Americans in these two books. It's strange and sad to think how recent the American pioneer days were.
I can't help but wonder how things would have been different if the spirit of adventure had not been so polluted by a spirit of entitlement.
Laura does not. This, I think, provides the avenue for Caddie to experience more mischief and adventure than Laura ever did. Then again, Laura's family experienced enough adventure together to more than make up for the lack of brothers. Caddie's family does not move around like Laura's does. They live in a much more settled community and are close to town.
Storyline Edit. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. A Disney Channel film crew filmed behind the scenes promotional footage during filming of the movie at Paramount Ranch. User reviews 1 Review. Top review. Not bad, but Wonderworks has produced better.
This was made a few years after Wonderworks' presentation of the Canadian Broadcast Company's terrific "Anne of Green Gables," and "Caddie" just doesn't compare. Based on a classic children's novel of a tomboy in Wisconsin who helps avert an Indian massacre, the book is not as well-known as the "Little House" series, the first of which, "Little House in the Big Woods" also takes place in Wisconsin, in The production design of "Caddie" is too bright and clean for what should be a scraggly, woodsy primitive home in a remote area of the American wilderness.
Lawns are trimmed and fenced, house interiors are too bright for oil lamps, and everyone has clean, starched clothes. But the worst thing is the synthesized music score!
The best performance in the cast is not the girl playing Caddie, but the actor James Stephens playing her father John Woodlawn. Stephens gives a gentle, understated performance as her patient, understanding Dad.
Also good is the Native American actor playing the local Dakota chief. Former "Hardy Boy" Parker Stevenson is just adequate as Caddie's uncle, and the screenwriter had to stretch to give Season Hubley as Caddie's mom enough to do.
To sum it up, an OK production with a terrible, synthesized soundtrack. Lori S Sep 15,
