Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books have taught millions of Americans about frontier life, giving inspiration to many and in the process becoming icons of our national identity. Yet few realize that this cherished bestselling series wandered far from the actual history of the Ingalls family and from what Laura herself understood to be central truths about pioneer life. In this groundbreaking narrative of literary detection, Christine Woodside reveals for the first time the full extent of the collaboration between Laura and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. Rose hated farming and fled the family homestead as an adolescent, eventually becoming a nationally prominent magazine writer, biographer of Herbert Hoover, and successful novelist, who shared the political values of Ayn Rand and became a mentor to Roger Lea MacBride, the second Libertarian presidential candidate. Drawing on original manuscripts and letters, Woodside shows how Rose reshaped her mother's story into a series of heroic tales that rebutted the policies of the New Deal. Their secret collaboration would lead in time to their estrangement. A fascinating look at the relationship between two strong-willed women, Libertarians on the Prairie is also the deconstruction of an American myth"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Children's Literature$2bisacsh 606 $aFrontier and pioneer life$zUnited States 606 $aAuthors, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary$2bisacsh 606 $aLibertarianism$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen pioneers$zUnited States$vBiography 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Children's Literature. 615 0$aFrontier and pioneer life 615 0$aAuthors, American 615 7$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Literary. 615 0$aLibertarianism$xHistory 615 0$aWomen pioneers 676 $a813.52 676 $aB 686 $aBIO007000$aLIT009000$2bisacsh 700 $aWoodside$b Christine$f1959-$01247950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158962303321 996 $aLibertarians on the prairie$92892716 997 $aUNINA
