On the Way Home: The Diary of a Trip from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894

Great addition to my collection.

Great read!

Para quienes se interesen en conocer la continuación de al 7 libro de la serie, el traslado de Laura, Almanzo y Rose.

What a great read! Each day was journaled as they traveled by covered wagon to Mansfield, Missouri in 1894.

Marvelous and historically valuable look at Laura, Rose, and Almanzo's journey from South Dakota to Missouri. Laura's travel diary is a fascinating read, with Rose's helpful comments and annotations. However, I was very disappointed to find that a number of the photographs mentioned in the text at the end of the book were not included in the Kindle edition, which is the format that I purchased.

After reading the 9 volumes of Laura's saga in the prairies, it is fulfilling to read the " rest of the story". I truly believe that all these books should be made MANDATORY READING in all our schools, from Mid to High. Modern youth have no idea of what real life is and cannot even dream about the problems and sacrifices young people of 2-3 generations ago went through. In today's " give me " society it is refreshing to read how children lived, worked, achieved only 100 years ago. Teachers would be TEACHING and the subjects would be useful to our growth rather than to our " social needs ". The fact that US students are almost at the bottom of any international comparison is revealing of the faults of our school system. Our schools are more worried about sexual orientation of our students than teaching Literature, Math. History, Reading, Composing, Chemistry .......... Laura and her friends learned well, and grew well adjusted citizens with good feelings for honor, duty, family....... She would be horrified if she could see our schools today. Thanks Amazon, for publishing this note.

Love how it was written & marvel how they traveled then! Wow

I bought this as a gift for my wife and kids. My wife started reading immediately. she liked that I had bought the additional copies of the first two books contained in this complete works edition: On the Way Home and West from Home, so she could have her own copy of the complete collection and still read out loud to the kids or let them read by themselves, without loosing her spot. By the time the kids had finished reading their copies she was also finished and happily let them read the final book from her copy.

Per chi ama la vita di Laura Ingalls W.,questo libro è stupendo nella sua semplicità,uno spaccato di vita reale che fa riflettere col sorriso.

PERFECT transaction! Great book and as described. Thank you A+++++

A very quick read, a larger type and short story but gentle and fills in the gaps of the Little House saga.

A very thin book & not as interesting to read as the series Little House or The Rose Years. I thought there may be some extra information of their trip to Missouri not covered in the book 'Little House on Rocky Ridge' but there wasn't.

Pour ceux qui ont déjà lu les 9 livres de La Petite Maison dans la Prairie et ont envie d'avoir une idée du voyage que Laura Ingalls Wilder et Almanzo (Manly comme Laura avait décidé de l'appeler) ont entrepris pour se rendre dans le Missouri à la suite des années catastrophiques à De Smet dans le Sud Dakota (maladie et handicap d'Almanzo, récoltes perdues, incendie de la maison).Ce livre n'a pas été traduit en français, il faut donc avoir un minimum de connaissances en anglais (américain) pour entreprendre sa lecture avec l'aide du dictionnaire en ligne REVERSO et aussi LAROUSSE (ce que l'on ne trouve pas dans l'un est souvent présent dans l'autre, mais pas toujours...). A noter, pour avoir un plus large aperçu de la vie de Laura et Almanzo la biographie réalisée par William ANDERSON "Laura Ingalls WILDER - A BIOGRAPHY" non traduit en français.
