  • Pioneer Women in Fact and Fiction
    PIONEER WOMEN IN FACT AND FICTION Kansas Nebraska South Dakota 1860-1900 by Sandra K. Rundell Presented to the American Culture Faculty at the University of Michigan - Flint in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Liberal Studies in American Culture June 24,1993 First Reader Second Reader INTRODUCTION What motivates people to leave their homeland, family, and friends and journey to a different part of the country or to a foreign land? What prompts people to settle in a veritable wilderness where the climate and geography are so alien to their previous lives? What inspires people to tackle the hardships of building an entirely new life amid an environment that offers so few resources? Such questions have been asked since the first settlers arrived in the New World. The motivation, Westward mig'ation, and overcoming obstacles have been recurrent themes in American history and literature for hunckeds of years. Settlers on America’s frontiers have interested many people because they represent qualities that have become identified with the American culture. The pioneer qualities of hard work, independence, self-sufficiency and adventure have defined some of the basic elements of the American character. Accounts of many such pioneers are available: history books record the pioneer experience; personal accounts provide first hand information on the westward movement and frontier life; and fiction abounds with conflicts faced by American pioneer families. Historical accounts offer a factual, informative point of view, and have a secure place in our educational institutions. Schools emphasize history textbooks as a means by which most people begin to learn of the past.

Inside Back Cover 1 A NOTE TO THE TEACHER Dear Educator, Welcome to the exciting world of Little House. Laura Ingalls Wilder’s nine classic Little House books, five of which received the distinguished Newbery Honor award, have been cherished by millions of readers around the world for their endearing portrayal of Laura Ingalls and her remarkable pioneer childhood. Although her books are historical fiction, Wilder brought to life her family’s real-life adventures, challenges, and triumphs on the American frontier. Now Little House fans of all ages can read about the experiences of four other generations of pioneer girls from Laura’s family: Laura’s great-grandmother Martha, who made a daring journey from Scotland to America as a young woman; Laura’s grandmother Charlotte, a city girl who grew up near Boston before moving to the western frontier; Caroline, Laura’s ma, who lived her life on the frontier; and finally, Laura’s daughter, Rose, a new kind of pioneer, who brings the girls’ story into the twentieth century.

    little house on rocky ridge pdf free download Little house on rocky ridge pdf free download. My family has had great success using the Little House on the Prairie series by Laura Ingalls Wilder in our home lessons. It has proven to be one of our favorite literature unit studies. In addition to the books themselves, I have used several other resources including: Besides "The Prairie Primer", ChristianBook.com has many good resources for use with the Little House books: Calvert School also has a curriculum based on the original Little House series, though I've never reviewed it. The articles in the following index are all original, unless otherwise stated (with re-print or publication permission included as well as credit to the original author). I have used these activities to compliment the Little House on the Prairie books. They are in no way meant to plagiarize the books or any of the resources mentioned or detract from all the hard work of their authors. Rather, they are ideas that are original or that have been modified and re-worked for my own family�s personal needs. I am now sharing the activities with you in the hopes that you can find them fun and useful as well. This index is organized by book, but each article can stand as an independent activity. You don�t necessarily have to complete these activities in any particular order unless otherwise stated. There are some overlap between books as far as useful activities go, so you will see some of the activities listed under more than one book.

ANDERSON* Editor's Note: In "The Literary Apprenticeship of Laura Ingalls Wilder" ßouth Dakota History 13[Winter 1983]: 285-331), author William T. Anderson detailed the early literary career of Laura Ingalls Wilder, discussing her apprenticeship years as country journalist, home editor for the Missouri Ruralist, and occasional contributor to national magazines. Much of Wiider's work during the 1910s and 1920s was supervised and encouraged by her daughter Rose Wilder Lane. In the late 1920s, Lane persuaded her mother to turn to her own life for subject matter and pen her autobiography, entitled "Pioneer Girl " This project, while it did not result in book publication^ led directly to Wiider's career as the author of the "Little House" books. With her daughter as edi- tor and agent, Wiider's initial book of the series. Little House in the Big Woods, reached publication in 1932. In this second install- ment of his study of the Wilder/Lane partnership, Anderson fo- cuses on the career of Rose Wilder Lane during 1932-1933, when she wrote her classic novel set in South Dakota, Let the Hurri- cane Roar, and revised her mother's second book. Farmer Boy. V In 1932, after the publication oi Little House in the Big Woods, the Wilder family of Rocky Ridge Farm, Mansfield, Missouri, lived in two separate, but closely connected, households.

Tim Kelsall * Responding to the disappointing results of the Good Governance agenda, the Africa Power and Politics Programme is exploring the scope for approaches which attempt to ‘work with the grain’ of African societies. This paper explores what this might mean. It identifies a core set of beliefs and values – concerning power, accountability and social morality – that are widely observed across sub-Saharan Africa, have proven extremely durable and remain powerful drivers of behaviour. Generally speaking, Western institutions sit ill alongside these traditions, while the institutions that work well in solving collective action problems and providing public goods are those that harness the motivating forces of family, ethnicity or religion.
