On the Way Home: The Diary of a Trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894 by Laura Ingalls Wilder
3.0
This was an enjoyable quick read. One that l will return to often.
It's a private travel diary that Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote when Almanzo and Laura left DeSmet and travelled to Missouri via covered wagon with their daughter Rose. This was a personal diary never intended for publication. So we must bear that in mind.
I was curious to see Laura's earlier writing style, To compare this to the later famous Little House books. Her writing even at this early stage still contains that beautiful descriptive style. Her descriptions took me right there with her, just as in her later books. I found it interesting to read about all the different people she met. Her descriptions of the landscapes are vivid.
Also contains lots of black and white photos and maps of the journey and stops along the way.
Recommended for fans of Little House and those wanting a bit more information on the early pioneers and covered wagon travels.
