Little Girl on the Prairie

Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House series has been keeping young readers company for the past halfcentury. Her stories – both gritty and charming – are a window into the hardscrabble life of America’s frontier settlers. Last year when the South Dakota Historical Society published Wilder's annotated autobiography, Pioneer Girl, fans eagerly explored a more nuanced and adult reflection on the homestead life, this time rife with racial tensions and inequities. Wilder’s editor, Pamela Smith Hill, provides new perspective on our beloved Laura. “Half-Pint” fans won’t want to miss this program on everyone’s favorite pioneer girl.
