I chose the book Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder and illustrated by Garth Williams. This book was first published in 1932. I chose this book at random from my grandmother’s house over Thanksgiving. I knew that she had all of the books and my sister had used my grandmother’s collection to read them all when she was younger. I just chose the first book that I saw and I really lucked out because it looked interesting. I felt that I could not go wrong with any of the books because

Wilder produced nine books in the Little House series. Eight of these were based on her experiences growing up in various places on the American frontier‚ and one‚ Farmer Boy (1933)‚ tells of her husband‚ Almanzo’s‚ boyhood on a farm in New York State.

That the Indians were people just like everyone else. They had a sense of humor‚ desire‚ embarrassment. Now like I said it showed us that the Indians had a sense of humor and desirer in the movie. The reason I put these two together is because in the movie they go hand and hand. An example of this

When I think back of the stories that I have heard about how the Native American Indians were driven from their land and forced to live on the reservations one particular event comes to my mind. That event is the Battle of the Little Big Horn. It is one of the few times that the Oglala Sioux made history with them being the ones who left the battlefield as winners. When stories are told‚ or when the media dares to tamper with history‚ it is usually the American Indians who are looked upon as the
