Pretty basic (ie. I didn't learn much new), but detailed, varied, and a good resource for someone looking for an introduction to this subject.

(Review found in papers from circa 2007.)

I really did enjoy this book and there was just so much insight into their relationship as well as showing their humanity. I am a registered libertarian but fall more along the lines in which Rose Wilder speaks of than really the party of today.
The research done for this book was quite extensive.
I enjoyed the narrator as well.
So glad I had, and took, the time to read this book.

Good basic book, but not a lot you won't know if you have been paying attention to energy issues.

I honestly can't say whether fans of the Little Hous books will want to read this or not. The author has meticulously researched the collaboration through which Laura Ingalls Wilder and her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane created the books. Woodside makes a strong case that part of Lane's contribution to the books was the development of libertarian themes throughout the plots and frameworks of the stories. Further, she illustrates the personal cost of the collaboration which eventually led to estrangement between the two women.
As someone of decidedly liberal political views who has been a devoted fan of the books since I was six, I found Woodside's case both compelling and depressing.
