I too am a little girl from the Ozarks and have been all over this country as an adult and the Ozarks has quite a hold on me. People like Laura gave me hope as well. I am also a historian and amateur writer. I also vividly remember standing in Mrs. Wilder's kitchen and being spellbound even though I am from a different generation. Interestingly, I was taught English and Civics in junior and senior high school by Mr. David Ingalls, now deceased. He sparked a love of writing and history within me. He was such a wonderful and smart man. He was also a cousin of Mrs. Wilder. I do not recall which sibling of Pa's from whom he was descended. This was great and I immensely enjoyed it! Thank you for all your hard work and research! So many hillbillies out there who are such smart people and interesting characters and they are ignored due to many people's prejudices.
LIW still attracts the deepest affection of her readers. She touches deep human emotions and brings them to the surface that we can easily relate too, even in modern terms. She speaks of human characteristics of endurance and conquest, that always overcomes the probable failure of human characteristics, but in LIW we get detailed literary description of life on a higher level that really brings the reader into the essence of life in the early pioneer age of western territory expansion. Thank you Pamela S. Hill for adding another book on this exciting journey. There is just something of greater importance in the LIW and Manly , along with daughter Rose, to learn from. For our modern day, it lays somewhat in the spiritual realm of human relationship, in my thinking.
I'm a Filipino, i didn't know about Laura Ingalls Wilder until i watched "Little house on the prairie" TV series, it makes me interested about her life and works..
You and your family were a inspiration to the simple days.your adventures and people you met would have been amazing.the fact that your dad bought 160 acres of land for $16.00 is truly amazing.I would say your life would be interesting to live expect for the bathrooms I wouldn’t want to use a outhouse
I stopped listening about half of the way through. I didn't really want to hear about the speaker and her life and literary opinions, I wanted to hear about Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Rose Wilder Lane was a scandalous opportunist. They say she was an accomplished writer in her time but, fail to give us any evidence of it. So she wrote Let the Hurricane Roar and it was not her material with Lane's twist on it. This clearly shows Lane's animosity towards life itself perhaps. Why did I read Lane's book? Because after finishing the "little House" series, I wanted to learn more about the author and researched her at the local library back in the 60's and 70's (no internet only microfiche). In Laura's autobiography I found she had a daughter that also wrote a book. Unfortunately it was unfamiliar writing style which left me not wanting any more. To this day 2020, Laura Ingalls Wilder books continue through the test of time to be embraced by family's of all walks of life. While still in school Almonzo gave his daughter a donkey to ride to school because he recognized Rose needed to be humble and grateful in life.
Exactly! This woman has more to say about herself than anything. I continued to watch and listen for ten minutes and then thought "WTF?" This is all about Pamela Smith Hill and her "thoughts, experience???" and somehow it may or may not relate to Laura Ingalls Wilder????? It would seem, nothing she has to say has anything to do with Laura Ingalls Wilder! She is a true narcisist!

As a new fan of LIW, I was thrilled to find this interesting talk - I'm very grateful for modern technology, which makes such things possible.

Do read the books. They're 1000 times better than any film could ever be.
You and your family were a inspiration to the simple days.your adventures and people you met would have been amazing.the fact that your dad bought 160 acres of land for $16.00 is truly amazing.I would say your life would be interesting to live expect for the bathrooms I wouldn’t want to use a outhouse
The audio went out during the last minute and a half. Unable to hear PSH's answer to the last question!
Remember, the authors seldom chooses the title. I found the talk quite interesting.
The proper title should be: "So you want to write a biography."
more about the speaker than about LIW. okay maybe that's what it's supposed to be but the title is misleading.
The title is misleading; what a gentle and gracious point of view.
I think the primary purpose was pretty clear, that it was about writing
This is great, but what happened to the sound during the Q&A session?
I stopped listening about half of the way through. I didn't really want to hear about the speaker and her life and literary opinions, I wanted to hear about Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Wow! ❤

I heard one talked about her that described her as narcissistic.
I love the research that is in Prairie Girl - but this video puts me off Pamela Hill when she lists Carrie as the Baby and mispronounces Almanzo.
humm ! are you saying Laura and her Daughter were Opportunist's ???
16:42 in this pic is it Melisa Gilbert or the real Laura Ingalls !!!!!!!! they look very similar !!!!!!!!!!!
It's the real Laura Ingalls.❤
This is a picture of the real LIW
SO, I come here to research about Laura Ingalls Wilder and end up listening to a narcisist.
Exactly! This woman has more to say about herself than anything. I continued to watch and listen for ten minutes and then thought "WTF?"

The talk is for students interested in how biographies are written, particularly if they are interested in doing so themselves.
this woman say " I " more times than I can count . thought was about laura not this speakers life who was inspired by laura ingles
Pretty sure the topic was "how to write a biography " not Laura Wider herself..
