What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I vaguely remember a book (or series of books?) that my fourth grade teacher read aloud to our class in the early 90s. It was set on the frontier and featured the following: Native Americans, a frontier girl, a character suffering from snow-blindness, the crossing of a (possibly?) frozen river, and a man trying to share his dreams with his dog by sleeping with a blanket over both of their heads. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

A few guesses:

- Kirsten on the Trail or other Kirsten books by Janet Beeler Shaw?
- Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink?
- A Girl Named Faith by Margaret Yorgason? Cover - https://www.amazon.com/girl-named-Fai...

Thanks for the attempt. I'm afraid the search continues though...

Offering a few ideas:

The Children Who Stayed Alone by Bonnie Bess Worline

Addie's Dakota Winter by Laurie Lawlor

Prairie School by Lois Lenski

Snowbound In Hidden Valley by Holly Wilson

There's definitely snow-blindness and frozen rivers in a few of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, but you'd probably have remembered if it was that series.

Lost in the Barrens by Farley Mowat, but that has a male protag rather than female.

Kevin, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

Still looking! Nothing has been correct!

Have you eliminated all the books suggested above?

Yes. The search continues.

Kevin, were the characters traveling, like on the Oregon Trail?

Or were they already settled someplace?

Does anything on the Children's Frontier Fiction list look familiar?
