It was very interesting.I knew that Rose was a pioneer of the Libertarian movement,and that she had a heavy hand in the editing of the "Little House"books, It was either never mentioned or edited out ( I have not read the manuscripts of the bookis)that Pa and the family skipped out of Burr Oak IA when they were behind on rent and never paid it,or that Mary actually had financial help from the state which allowed her to go the Vinton School For The Blind. I guess that would not keep with the image that Rose and Laura were trying to convey.<br />I have also read that Mary suffered from a form of meningitis,and that it was a stroke resulting from the meningitis that took her sight.The consensus is that Laura felt more people would be familiar with Scarlet Fever than would be with what meningitis was,so she used that illness i her books. She had been diagnosed with "Brain Fever",which could have meant any number of ailments back then. <br />The more biographies I read,the more I learn about the real Laura and that has not diminished my love of her books either!!!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18146666825333788187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226841718118829886.post-48981673979705654762013-11-04T08:30:22.960-05:002013-11-04T08:30:22.960-05:00Hi Donna-

I know that you are a Little House fan, as am I, and just read this PBS article, which I found interesting and think you will too. In no way does this dim my enjoyment of Little House- in fact I am even more fascinated! <br />On another Little House note- have you read anything about Mary not actually being blinded by Scarlet Fever? Pretty interesting reading too!<br />Cheers-<br />http://www.pbs.org/newshour/businessdesk/2013/10/little-libertarians-on-the-pra.html<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226841718118829886.post-5659146525049428702013-10-28T08:50:25.682-04:002013-10-28T08:50:25.682-04:00We love the poem!

He turned around,and i snapped the photo.

I look forward to many future posts as you expand little farm, especially with the sheep! Will you just be selling your soap locally, or do you plan to sell online as well?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15152800564191091861noreply@blogger.com
