Her Daughter’s Impact
We now know that Laura left a huge mark on the world, but her daughter could say the same thing for herself. We hope you aren’t tired of hearing about how great Rose is because she deserves the praise. She and another author published books that have been attributed to the beginning of the modern Libertarian movement. In the ‘30s, liberal journalist John Chamberlain talked about their impact: “If it had been left to pusillanimous males probably nothing much would have happened… Indeed, it was three women — Paterson, Rose Wilder Lane, and Ayn Rand — who, with scornful side glances at the male business community, had decided to rekindle a faith in an older American philosophy.””

How The TV Show Started
NBC released a movie pilot of Little House on the Prairie in 1974. The two-hour film starred Melissa Gilbert, Michael Landon, and Karen Grassle. It focused on the family’s life on a farm off Walnut Grove, Minnesota during the ‘70s and ‘80s. NBC executive and producer Ed Friendly explained that he heard about the story during the early ‘70s and told Michael Landon to take the reins. Landon agreed to do it but under the condition that he would play Charles Ingalls. This was a great business move as the show went on for nine seasons! The last season was aptly titled Little House: A New Beginning.
