  18. I do not use TikTok or X.

    I read the entire series and some of the memoir and biographical material, such as Pioneer Girl and the journal entries of the voyage from South Dakota to Missouri. (I believe she was briefly in North Florida but hated the bugs and hot weather.)

    I read that Rose Wilder, Isabel Patterson, and Ayn Rand wrote a book together about the philosophical rationale for the American Libertarian movement. Rose was a member of the Communist party but left it after seeing the hardships and obstacles it needlessly created abroad. She met people experiences the problems caused by Communism when she went to Eastern Europe to sell real estate. This is a part of history I find fascinating, too.

  35. I have loved Laura’s book for decades. I have a bookcase with one entire shelf devoted to books Laura wrote, book’s about her and also several books written by her daughter. My mother told me when I was a child that our family is related to the Charles Ingalls family. …. something like very distant cousins. My mother’s maiden name is Ingalls and she was born in Minnesota in
    1900.
