Matty Trescott As the main character in Carroll Thomas’ first three novels, Matty Trescott is a teenage girl who is forced to deal with the reality of the American Civil War. A strong-willed, independent thinker, Matty breaks the stereotype of the “typical girl” in the mid 19 th Century. Her courage, strength, and dedication inspire the reader to continue turning the pages of Carroll Thomas’ novels. Follow Matty as she adventures to Kansas with her family prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, enlists as part of the Union Army, and attends medical school in Boston once the Civil War ends.

Blue Creek Farm “When Kansas Territory was opened up to settlement, we heard that there were lots of opportunities here.” Join Matty and her family as they venture from Simsbury, CT to Kansas Territory in the late 1850’s. Opportunities were plentiful, yet uncertainty looms as life for the Trescott’s begins on the Frontier.
