Love them all!
And read the “Little House” books for an amazing documentary of the courage of those sturdy pioneers.
The books are really NOTHING like that sappy TV show supposedly taken from them.
I’m reading through the whole series again just to clear my mind of all the rot of these days. If we all had the knowledge Ma and Pa Ingalls had of just basic survival,farming, gardening, animal husbandry, sewing, cooking, smoking meats, cheesemaking, on and on— and just the cheerful acceptance of the good with the bad, plus courage and persistence to keep working, we could remake this country into what it once was!
Ma and Pa Ingalls knew the basics of survival because they had been taught those lessons as children. It was second nature to them. Most of us don’t have those skills because we have not had to have them in our lives (up until now). The future may be a different story.
