A Wilder Rose 3 - The End (Pages 165 - end)


 RATING: GOOD


I fimished the book, which I loved. The part which I found tedious was when Rose becomes more political.

John Turner was a boy who turned up at Rock Ridge and Rose takes a shining to and adopts him unofficially. Then she also took his brother Al in. 

Laura Ingalls gets her third book published: LIttle House on the Prairie. Little House on the Prairie is an autobiographical children's novel by Laura Ingalls Wilder, published in 1935. It was the third novel published in the Little House series.



The fourth book was On the Banks of Plum Creek. On the Banks of Plum Creek is an autobiographical children's novel written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and published in 1937, the fourth of nine books in her Little House series. It is based on about five years of her childhood when the Ingalls family lived at Plum Creek near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, during the 1870s. 


Rose wrote Old Home Town. In Old Home Town, Rose Wilder Lane recreated small-town society of pre-World War I America. She described a community through the stories of certain memorable citizens.


Rose travelled the country for two weeks in the company of Garet Garrett to write about the problem of farmers. Rose and Garet became lovers. Garet Garrett (February 19, 1878 – November 6, 1954), born Edward Peter Garrett, was an American journalist and author, known for his opposition to the New Deal. 


Free Land was the last novel Rose wrote. Free Land is a novel by Rose Wilder Lane that features American homesteading during the 1880s in what is now South Dakota. It was published in The Saturday Evening Post as a serial during March and April 1938 and then published as a book by Longmans.


At the death of Laura Ingalls and then Rose Wilder, the latter's adopted grandson inherited the rights for Little House on the Prairie novels. Roger Lea MacBride (August 6, 1929 – March 5, 1995) was an American lawyer, political figure, and writer. After working as a lawyer early in his career, he inherited the estate of Laura Ingalls Wilder. He called himself "the adopted grandson" of a family friend, writer and libertarian political theorist Rose Wilder Lane, whom he met when he was 14 years of age. Lane, daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, noted author of the Little House series of books, designated MacBride as her "political disciple," executor, and sole heir.
