Status Updates From Prairie Fires: The American...

Encyclopedic detail (and my deep frustration with Rose Wilder Lane) is making this book a longer course to read.

So far, it seems this book is about everything surrounding Laura, and not much actually about her. In the beginning, there was so much background about Indian disputes, then history about the homestead act, and now way too much about her daughter Rose, who is psycho and unlikeable. In exploring all the caveats, the author misses the point about why these books are so loved. It’s ok to have a little bit of heroism

I’ve barely had time to sit down with this but was able to do that for a couple of hours yesterday. Yes it was the 4th of July. We all celebrate in different ways.
Lots of details that weren’t in the books, and about locusts and bad information put out by yes the government and also railroads.
