Giving Her Mother The Support She Needed

Like we said earlier, the stock market crash of 1929 made things very difficult for both Almanzo and Laura. They wiped out nearly all of their savings, so Rose felt the need to help her mother out in Rocky Ridge Farm. Clearly, she is the ideal to have whichever way you look at it. Rose certainly sounds like an incredibly reliable person even in the toughest times. At the time, Laura wrote more and even wrote an unpublished autobiography. It was only after receiving the suggestion that she write fiction instead that she came up with the beloved Little House series.

Rose Wilder Lane was born on December 5, 1886 in De Smet, South Dakota. We have already heard of many young people moving to San Francisco after high school, and she was no different. She was briefly married there and kicked off a great writing career. The Golden State has always been a go-to place for people who want to go into the arts, so Rose clearly knew what she was doing at the time. She once identified as a socialist but eventually called herself a libertarian after spending time in Europe and returning to take care of her parents during the ‘30s.
