What is wrong with you?

Absolutely!

The books and the television series.

The Little House on the Prairie books are beautifully written, timeless classics that were cancelled by people who probably never read them.

They should be in every classroom and Laura Ingalls Wilder should be covered in every elementary school.[/quote]

Have you read Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser? It's eye-opening. Most of what LIW wrote glossed over the reality of the Ingalls' lives - Charles Ingalls didn't have a wandering foot. He was on the verge of bankruptcy and kept moving to stay ahead of his creditors. Their livelihoods were based on failed homesteading.

Plus the Homestead Act was one of the biggest government giveaways of all time. It's funny that libertarians read those books as a history of people who were self-sufficient.

btw, I read and loved all the Little House books as a girl. So much so that (obviously) I have read every biography of Laura I have found. So, not cancelled; just much more informed about their veracity.[/quote]
