- 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.
This program was recorded on Nov 6, 2015 as part of the 26th annual Chicago Humanities Festival, Citizens: chf.to/2015Citizens

Pa did as much as he could doing the right thing. How much can one person take? I still will ALWAYS admire his character.
pro tip : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
Enjoyed this. Thankyou for exploring this classic very important story deeper for us.
Informative. Thanks!
Jack the brindle bulldog did not go on to Dakota Territory with Pa. He died in his sleep and Pa buried him on the little hill above the dugout in Walnut Grove.
In another interview with Pamela hill (this woman) she said that Jack was actually traded for a horse at some point. Pretty disillusioning if that’s true.
Yeah, I read he went along with the guy who bought the horses at some point. I think you’re thinking of the tv show.
Jack did not die he was traded in real life
the real Laura ingalls wilder was only 4 foot 11.
Brittany Lee well both Melissa Gilbert and Melissa Sue Anderson are pretty small women
You do not know what your talking about Pamela Hill. This reflects on you Chicago Humanities Festival.
