It takes courage to leave a familiar town, a comfortable homestead, and personal belongings and old friends. It takes courage to live in a small wagon, traveling barely a hundred miles a week through Indian territory. But it takes a special out-of-the-ordinary courage to give up the dearest treasure of the heart. This is the story of Carolina Putnam, a New Hampshire girl who has to find out if she has the true spirit of a pioneer.

Elizabeth Yates is the author of sixteen novels and fifteen nonfiction books for the young. Among her many awards are the Newbery Medal, the William Allen White Children's Book Award, the Sarah Josepha Hale Award, and the Governor's Award of Distinction. Miss Yates grew up in a large farm family much interested in literature, theater, and life. She realized early that books not only should but also could "emphasize...some essential goodness," and many of her books spring from her experience and broad interests. In 1987, the New Hampshire House of Representatives saluted Miss Yates with an award for lifelong achievement.
Carolina's Courage came into being during the years that Miss Yates warmed the hearts of neighborhood children with Story Hour every Monday afternoon. A friend loaned her an Indian doll to show to the children, and she added to the story with a little old-fashioned doll named Lyddy-Lou. After being told many times over, the tale was finally written as a book to be enjoyed by children throughout the United States, Canada, and England.
