Need to know when something important happened and you can’t remember or don’t want to flip through the Circle C books? This page is your “go to” resource for the Carter family tree, along with an extensive timeline that covers 1848-1890.
Here is the Carter family tree plus six timelines to keep things orderly in your stories. You can also download them as PDF files and see a quick overview of the characters.







Totally helpful in keeping track of people and time periods. Way to go!

Hey Mrs. M. Just want to make sure but isn’t slavery still going on in the Andi books. I looked it up and slavery was banned in California between 1849 and 1861. But slavery was still going on in other states. Right?
LikeLike
No, not during the Andi books (they take place between 1874-1890). Slavery was demolished via the Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Lincoln in January of 1863. When the North won the Civil War, then for sure no slavery (War ended April 1865). The only books that would still be during the Slavery time period is the Goldtown Books. But since California joined the Union as a free state, slavery was banned in California even earlier than the Proclamation.

It’s in the Milestone book, the day before Riley and Andi get married. Actually, I think it’s in a post on your website. I’ve read it. Andi finds these letters that were written by her family when she was a little girl that were meant to be read by her the day before she gets married.
LikeLike
I think not. The only letter Andi receives in the BOOKS is from Aunt Rebecca on her wedding day. If you can send me the page number, then I will repent. LOL
It is NOT in a post either. The only thing you might be referring to is the wonderful story by Anna Parks. She has some letters in there. Would this be what you are talking about?

Question here! When Will Benton (the gentleman outlaw who kidnapped Andi and Elizabeth in Andi to the Rescue) was taken to jail after being found did Andi take his daughter’s letters with her to read to Mr. Benton in the jail when Elizabeth went to teach him how to read?
Sorry if I did not word that well, I can try to explain it more if needed.
