Review # 1 was written on 2008-09-14 00:00:00 Michael Mcmanaway Lane, daughter of "Little House" author Laura Ingalls Wilder, became a writer herself. In her long, globe-spanning career, she produced nonfiction writings on various subjects as well as novels and short stories. Many of her articles were for "women's" magazines, and as such have a somewhat different focus than typical news journalism of the period. This volume is neither a biography of Lane nor a detailed analysis of her work; rather, Lauters lets this segment of Lane's work speak mostly for itself. Lauters considers Lane above all a literary journalist, and the works in this volume illustrate that classification. Lane is something of a "lost" figure in American writing, hence the "rediscovered" in the book's title. This collection is a good way to find her.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-02-11 00:00:00 William siegel An interesting collection of Rose Wilder Lane's magazine & newspaper articles. A must for any serious Lane/Wilder fan. Lane can be a bit wordy at times, but the articles cover an interesting part of history.
