Iโ€™m hoping this is the first of a series, because I liked the supporting characters more than the principals.

This is a 1958 Newbery Award-winning book. I first read it almost 60 years ago. The daily camp life and battles helped me visualize the highs, lows, and horrors of war.

The author interviewed Civil War veterans, so I feel the story gave an accurate accounting of the war. This is a must-read for history buffs.

Pre-registration is now open for the 2026 Let's Hike, Delafield! challenge and you may begin logging miles on October 1st.

Remember, a month of a thousand miles begins with one step... ๐Ÿฅพ๐Ÿ‚

What is Let's Hike, Delafield? Well, it is an event we've been hosting for the past 4 years where we challenge Delafield and the surrounding community to hike 1,000 miles collectively during the month of October.

Participants are invited to keep track of miles and then report them back to the library, either at the end of the month or along the way. All abilities are welcome, and every mile walked or hiked is progress toward the community goal.

According to founder Andrea Bisordi, Letโ€™s Hike, Delafield! is a way to bring awareness to the Ice Age Trail for community members who may not know that these local trails are part of something much bigger. โ€œI want people to be in love with their community,โ€ Bisordi comments, and walking on the trail for this challenge is a way to say, โ€œWe all care about this together.โ€

In 2025, participants trekked a total of 1,572 miles! Think we can beat it?
