West From Home - Letters Of Laura Ingalls Wilder to Almanzo Wilder San Francisco 1915

By: Roger Lea MacBride (Editor)

In 1915 San Francisco was alive with the excitement of a great world's fair, the Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Laura Ingalls Wilder came to San Francisco at the urging of her married daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, to visit the city and see the marvelous attractions at the fair. Laura , who as a child had traveled through the Midwest by covered wagon, now made the trip from Missouri to California by train. Since her husband, Almanzo, could not leave the farm, she wrote long letters to him to share the excitement and wonders of her trip. These letters, discovered after her death, reveal the activity curiosity and warm personality of the woman who was later to write the classic "Little House" books for children.
