"Louisa of Woods’ Crossing is about the Texas frontier just prior to the 1836 War of Texas Independence. The fourteen year-old heroine of the story lived during times of hardships and dangers including nightmarish depredations by hostile Indians inclined to barbarous acts. Nothing was more feared than raids on cabins and the terrifying abductions of teen-aged girls. The family homestead on the Lavaca River was that of the typical log cabin with fields, pastures, and the customary animals except for two red wolf “watchdogs” adopted as orphaned pups. The story is also an endearing one of close friendships with other pioneer girls.
