Readings for Christmas on the Prairie

I am going to read an excerpt from A Little House Sampler edited by William T. Anderson. It's a collection of writings from Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane. The piece I am reading is called "Home for Christmas" by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

I also found a piece by Harriet E. Adams within Pioneer Women: Voices from the Kansas Frontier by Joanna Stratton. Harriet's father, Franklin G. Adams, was the first secretary of the Kansas State Historical Society.

I timed the Laura piece at about 6:30 minutes. The Harriet Adams piece is about 5:30 minutes.

I also have four other little excerpts which also come from Pioneer Women that are about 1 minute in length each.

Now, to find the perfect hair!
