Review # 1 was written on 2012-05-06 00:00:00 John Wappler I liked it except for the chapter on De Smet's leisure activities, which I thought deadly dull. List writing, I call that sort of thing, something I always fear with University press books but most of the chapters in this book don't slide into it. There is a fair bit of repetition, which is often the case with books including articles printed elsewhere, but that I didn't mind so much. Someone who thinks the Little House books are dead accurate history probably wouldn't like this book much, but I found the discussion on how Laura filtered her own history into story fascinating, and also enjoyed seeing glimpses of how Rose encouraged and guided her mother into writing better books.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-02-19 00:00:00 Andrew Thomas Best quote ever by anyone! " I believe we would be happier to have a personal revolution in our individual lives and go back to simpler living and more direct thinking. It is the simple things in life that make living worth while, the sweet fundamental things such as love and duty, work and rest and living close to nature. There are no hothouse blossoms that can compare in beauty and fragrance to my bouquet of wildflowers" Laura Ingalls Wilder. How I admire this woman!
