Cris Peterson is the author of eight award-winning books for children, including Century Farm: One Hundred Years on a Family Farm and Horsepower: The Wonder of Draft Horses. After earning a degree in history and education from the University of Minnesota, she moved to a dairy farm in Wisconsin, where she and her husband raised three children and continue to farm today. The idea for Birchbark Brigade formed from her love of the north woods and the obscure stories buried in its remote wilderness past.
"The author's enthusiasm for her subject will communicate itself to
readers, even those who never dreamed they'd be interested, making
this the best kind of discovery. (time line, notes, bibliography,
suggested reading, places to visit, index)" --Kirkus Reviews
"A well-researched account. . . . This will fill a gap in many
history collections." --Booklist
