I do too. 😊

Me too. But with today's pandemic some people can relate. Don't you think so.

Same

Every morning I watch Little house!

Mary just WATCHED it yesterday When loura had a raccoon for a pet lol

M Ward Absolutely they would have been

They were outside a lot doing work! Remember food, water, potty, livestock, etc.

you think

Once it got so hot in Kansas that the corn field started popping. When the barnyard mule saw that, he thought it was snowing and froze to death. 🐴

You know they were. No luxuries that we have today. If the stitch hits the fan tomorrow. A Lot of people wouldn't know how to survive the honest way.

Not ancient; interesting

I remember that too! There were special penns for that.

Me2 i remember,

We had those old desks too in my primary school. They had the ink wells too. I’m 37 so I guess we had old desks lol. My dad sat in the same desks when he went to the school too 🤣

I am a SW Minnesota native as well. I always had to laugh at the mountains and hilly terrain in the background of the tv show. Pretty flat prairie out there!

She lived and died in Missouri

@@johnjohnon8767 she moved to Missouri as an adult, also lived briefly in Florida, which has always made me laugh for some unknown reason. Pioneers and palm trees, so different from the stock images in my head. I bet the Michael Landon "Pa" would have loved stripping down to that chest and getting some sun, oceanside. I wonder how he would have contrived an injury to allow it?

My grandmother said goodbye to her mother (my great grandmother) for the last time at Walnut Grove Minnesota.

I've never been to Walnut Grove, Minnesota but I need to visit. In the TV series they talked about Mankato so many times which I was born in Mankato in 1967.

I am 70 years old and I still read her books.

Your mother’s family history?!?

There's 1 problem with that Rose Wilder (laura's Daughter) DID NOT Have any Children.

she was the biggest inspiration in my life. i wanted to live like her since i was very young. my home is full of antiques. that i only would know of by the shows. i have all of the dvds. love the ingalls

@@salimas7979 Yes. My mother is an Ingalls woman.

@@andrewplummer1196 Yes, I am well aware of that. I never said I was her descendant. I said that I am, in fact, a direct descendant of Charles Ingalls.....Pa Ingalls Grandfather, who he was named after......Reproductively speaking, Like Rose, I am unable to have children. I have none to leave my last name, my estate, nor my legacy.....such is life.

Wouldn't that be more like 1889? Was there a Kansas City in 1789? The country was barely in existence, before the Louisiana Purchase, etc. in 1789.

@@glennlrw , thanks for your inquiry. I evidently read something wrong in my original research. The town was founded in the 1830’s & chartered in 1850. The newspaper was first published in 1880.

The cabin of the tv series was the one of Walnut Grove...not that of Kansas. If You ser the tv series the first chapter shows this litttle cabin of one room. On second chapter they moved to Minessota in Plum Creek near to Walnut Grove and Charles built the cabin with the second floor.

Besides which, TV always takes liberties, even with non-fictional stories and characters. You can't use the TV as the best educational teacher. 🙂

Only to sleep really. Too busy working.

Back then..they did what was necessary.

Hay I lived in a tenent house not much larger then this growing up. 6 kids and my parents. Quite comfy. Front room. Kitchen bedroom. Built the biys a tiny room from back porch.older days lots of prople had parents bed in front room. Outhouse. Some days I long for those days gone by

cebearce1 My grandfather built a cabin not much bigger than Laura's cabin. They had NINE children & 2 adults in it.

Imagine that there were 4 of them when they moved there, and Carrie was added while they lived there. Not a lot of privacy!

Great idea! I would have loved and played with them, too. My great-grandmother Doris, that raised my Mama, introduced me to the Little House on the Prairie books when I was about 9 years old. She read them to me for many years, until I begin to be able to read to her and then I did so. She had been at school teacher and really delighted in the two of us reading together. We had a very special relationship. We watched the TV show together as much as possible, as well. Precious memories. And books and TV show from a very special time in our country's history! Love them still @ 48 years old. 🙂💗

@@jen4him72 your relationship with your grandmother sounds very much like the one I had with my mamaw. She was born in 1906 in the hills of West Virginia, and grew up very much like Laura did. I learned so much from her. I loved hearing her stories of growing up. She raised 10 successful children. Her last child born in 1949 died of pneumonia at 6 months old. Growing up I would just stare at his tiny tombstone with the lamb on it. My mamaw dearly loved children and babies and was a role model to me like no other. In my later teen years I remember asking her did she miss the old days and ever want to go back. She said, "no, it was too hard." By the time she passed in January of 1990 she had cable TV, a microwave, air conditioning. a Mr. Coffee, and other modern conveniences that we take for granted. She considered these things luxuries. I'll never forget one story she told me about my oldest uncle. He was getting to the crawling stage as a baby. She was home alone, (my grandfather was a coal miner) and she needed to milk the cow. She didn't have a safe place to put uncle Charlie so he wouldn't get hurt while she went to the barn. She said she carefully tied him to the bed post to keep him safe till she could get back from milking the cow. I know she would have greatly been thankful for a play pen. We take so much for granted in today's times. Even being poor and having little my mom said she never saw her daddy wear dirty shoes and you wouldn't find as much as a gum wrapper in their yard. My grandparents were very neat and clean with everything they owned. I remember when it would come up about poor people being dirty. My mamaw would always say, "soap and water are cheap." I'm so thankful for the life's lessons that she taught me. There aren't many left like those fine old people, and I miss that generation being here on earth with us.

Do you know how you are related to the LIW?

@@SabrinaChach Yes, I do. Charles Ingalls Sr. ( 3x Great Grandfather) Hiram Ingalls (Great Great Grandfather) Leroy Ingalls (Great Grandfather) Lee Ingalls (Grandfather) My Mother (Not saying her name as she is still alive and is very private) Me. There's a traceable lineage for you.

@@ACEDIAMOND666 Wow, that is awesome...you are not Just related but also know how. I do not even know my grandparents from my fathers side

That's awesome.

Charles and Caroline Ingalls NEVER had a son that survived infancy. Hiram was Charles' brother.

AND CANADIAN ALSO

Me too!! Is like therapy to me....

@@mauragvera1672 yes. It's a little drama without the drama if that makes any sense. Lol

True!! In the book, Laura talks about the "red skinned men, the mohawk hair, and the endless beating of their drums at night. They had encounters with the Natives, but were never harmed.

That's not the entire story.

Exactly! Thank you for bringing that up , as my dad's side of the family is native heritage

Sounds like life

Then you should know that the Ingalls moved from this land because it was part of Indian Territory and they had to leave it.
