NR on the Prairie

Yesterday, my wife, a fan since childhood of the Little House on the Prairie series, visited the home of its author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, in rural Mansfield in the Missouri Ozarks. The home is preserved exactly as it was the day Mrs. Wilder died in 1957, right down to the books on the bookshelves and the magazines on the chairside lamp table beside the easy chair next to the fireplace. The most prominently displayed magazine was National Review, which looked to be from the 1950s.
