Three-hundred-and-fifty-years ago, a Potawatomi Indian boy named Red
Eagle carved a small bear out of limestone. It was lost during a
legendary battle at Fort Mechingan, somewhere deep in the woods of what
is now Door County, Wisconsin. Although searchers have tried, no sign of
the fort has ever been found. While spending the summer in Door County,
a boy named Wyatt decides to look for it. Meanwhile, a Potawatomi boy
named Robert listens to the story of his ancestor, Red Eagle. Robert
wonders, too, what happened to the fort and the carving. Finding them
will unforgettably connect Wyatt, Robert and Red Eagle. But as the
summer draws to an end Wyatt has still not found the fort, despite lots
of help from woodland animal friends and his loyal yellow lab, Bailey.
Will Fort Mechingan - and the carved bear - remain buried forever in
Wisconsin's Northwoods?
