The past was a noise and music filled place; and while we can't recreate the past precisely, listening and playing the music people used to listen to is an excellent way to feel like you're really there. "Musical Memories of Laura Ingalls Wilder" was written by William Anderson, noted Laura Ingalls Wilder biographer, and features photos by internationally known Little House photographer, Leslie A. Kelly. Discover the songs that were part of life for the Ingalls family and for thousands of other pioneering families.
