I highly disgree with the feminist because just as the case is with Democrats is that they blurr and distort the facts and the truth. Vaccines are the fastest way to control the populations of the world said by Gates, Rockefellers, and Rothschilds themselves. The real truth about the vaccines is many cause sterilization, cancerous material are found in them, and their goals sound good but truthfully they are not good and if people of the U. S. would quite being like Millennials and the generations after being lazy and groping for government intervention, subsidies, or laws to make for morality which has no basis in morality as we know then we would be free to determine proper and improper, when we want to marry after puberty and some maturity although none of us are completely mature when we marry, and the precepts we incorporate.
It was good that they were homeschooled, it allowed for spiritual guidance although, back in the day when we married young and followed the word of God, it was also a more family experience. People were seen as adults and acted as such as they were when they became a young man or lady 12 for ladies and 13 for men. And despite all the hyperbole about them being kids Biblically and just as applicable we are young adults at those ages. The corporate U. S. A is a great big fake science propaganda machine and everyone is being to easy to believe them just they say look at what I found or heard.
I cannot stand how these states governments and federals are tampering and hampering are lives that we only live once. Gets to be enough. I started working when I was 8 years of age for my Grandfather making $1 for mowing lawn that was early 2000s, then 16 on up was working with farmers. I was a young adult when I became 13 just as the Word of God depicts. Age difference hardly had a say on who married who other than the obvious requirments to be men and women.
Also why the condemning of being mature in our early adulthood? She was not a kid at 18. Been a young lady for a bit. Also reason why she was not allowed to be a teacher after she wedded was because everyone had a role and the ladies roles was to being a house wife and mother while the man was to be the lord of the house or adon of the house which is to say protecter and provider. Oh yeah and marriage is not a partnership it is a commitment.
You act as if homeschool is not as good as public or private highschool which is wrong.

You mean Charles Ingalls? Her brother's surname was Ingalls, not Wilder as you claimed at about 3: 40 - 3: 41. Also, the last I knew, they did know what killed him. It was the same thing that killed Laura and Almonzo's only son, at about the same age. It was something genetic. It's kind of similar to how all of King Henry VIII's sons, but the one, died. Even Rose's only two children (both sons) died very young. I remember reading it in the book Laura wrote about her life, not the last book of the Little House series (the First Four Years, which was the 9th book in the series) but the one that came later and was separate (I think it was called West From Home. I think even Rose mentioned it in her book House on Rocky Ridge (or whatever it was called.
Grassle is pronounced Grass - Lee not grass - all. You know like the politician. I've always wondered if the two were related somehow.

Through ancestry. com, I discovered that I am related to Laura Ingalls Wilder on my mom's side. I knew that we were also related to FDR through his mother Sara Delano. My sister and I grew up in the 70's and early 80's watching Little House on the Prairie. One year, my dad and sister took a trip from North Dakota to California and somehow met Michael Landon. He was impressed by my sassy, cowgirl sister dressed in jeans and cowboy boots, and asked my dad whether she could play the little orphan girl in some future episodes alongside Justin Bateman. My dad said, no', because he did not want to mess up her social development. Child actors often have trouble in their adolescence. I find this fascinating, given that we are directly related to Laura Ingalls. We could relate to many of the stories in her books. Has anyone else experienced a ND blizzard, locusts, or a farmstead burning?

European here. A sale on Red Dead Redemption 2 sent me down a rabbit hole of the old American West. My path crossed Laura Ingalls Wilder. I enjoyed Little House on the prairie back in the 80s when I got home from school. I thought to myself, who better to capture the essence of a defining moment in the history of America. As a nation, I would be proud of her. She must have been honored somehow, I thought. Only to discover that she had a medal named after her, which was just recently renamed to something generic because the woke army had discovered language in her books unacceptable in 2018. This ridiculous madness makes me sad. We shouldnt judge history and historic literature by modern standards. Its wrong.

Little House on the prairie and Doctor Quinn, Medicine Woman are my favourite all times TV shows and I found many similarities between its characters, in my opinion: Laura Ingalls Wilder vs Doctor Michaela Quinn, Pa Charles Ingalls vs Byron Sully, Harriet/Nellie/Nancy Oleson vs Loren Bray/Jake Slicker/banker Preston A. Lodge III, Nels Oleson vs Dorothy Jennings, Carrie Ingalls vs Bryan Cooper, Albert Ingalls vs Bryan/Matthew Cooper, Mary Ingalls vs Ingrid/Colleen Cooper, Ma Caroline Ingalls vs Cloud Dancing, Reverend Alden vs Rev. Timothy Johnson! But the main character Laura Ingalls Wilder cannot work separately, without Pa Charles or later her husband, Almanzo Wilder as Dr. Mike Quinn cannot go without Sully!

She and Almonzo were not wiped out by the stock market crash. Most of their savings were lost, but NOT all! Their farm had grown to over a hundred acres. Their house and land was paid for and never threatened. They sold some lumber and acreage to get by. Laura was 65 when her first book was published in 1932. They actually MADE money during the '30's due to her income. I lived about an hour away from her the first 6 years of my life. My 1st grade teacher read from Little House every day during quiet time. She had met Laura. I remember the sad day my teacher announced that Laura had died. (1957)

If you read the book 'The First Four Years' (the manuscript was originally written by Laura Wilder and found after Rose Lane's death, you'll see that it's vastly different in tone & writing style than all the books that came before it. Which makes me think that Rose did rewrite her mother's handwritten drafts in order to ensure they'd be interesting and worthy of publication.

I read all of her books and Rose's books too about their lives. I still didn't understand how they lost all of their money in the depression. That family had a lot of tragedy and bad luck but after they settled, things went a better. When she married Almanzo, his luck got really bad. I think she was an albatross and nobody seemed to want to admit it.

I heard that the Ingalls family did not have to pay for Mary's special school; it was government funded. They only had to pay for her clothing, etc. The idea that the family struggled to pay tuition or fees was not the reality, but pushed by Rose, who was a strong libertarian, feeling that government had no responsibility to pay for such schools.

No one has a clue. Laura was Laura Loretta Ingalls Wilder. Her step daughter or adopted daughter was my maternal grandmother. Her granddaughter appears to be Norma Zimmer. Last time I saw Norma, she was moving from Austin Minnesota. Laura was mother in law to Jesse Curry. She accompanied him to Colorado, since it appears she died there.

Please read Prairie Fires, a biography of her life published a few years ago. The book begins telling us about the area of the country in which she lived. The Ingalls/Wilder family was always poor, moving around the Midwest, even into Florida chasing livlihood. Read the book. I was shocked at how poor and desperate these people were.

Rose built her parents a small rock house a type popular here in south central Missouri where I live about 20 miles from Mansfield. It wasnt necessarily out of the kindness of here heart since she (Rose) wanted to and did move into her parents home that almanzo had built for Laura.

The narrator keeps referring to Laura's family as the Wilder's, which is incorrect. Only Laura has the surname Wilder because that was her husband's surname. Laura's family should be referred to as the Ingalls

I stopped the video at 2: 18. To the best if my recollection from reading the books Mary did go blind as a result of having had scarlet fever.
I see from some of the comments that the video has other errors too.

My mother in law loved little house on the prairie. She has all the shows on tape. I wasn't really interested in it. I would watch it if visiting her but otherwise it really wasn't a show I would watch on my own.
