Reviews of The Homesteader

Few American writers have been more written about than Laura Ingalls Wilder. The life and times of Laura Ingalls Wilder are so embedded in the culture of the United States that it is inevitable that readers and historians have developed a longstanding fascination with "the real Laura." The Homesteader is a welcome addition to the sources of current scholarship on Wilder and her books. Its issues are filled with fresh persepctives, new data, and a lively look at the ever-expanding world of one of America's best-loved writers. -- William T. Anderson
