The Discovery of Freedom
Lane’s view is that there can be no real progress or discovery without freedom. And there can be no freedom so long as people long for authoritarian rule. It’s a radical thesis but this book is inspiring. She knew and understood the history of what it means to break free.

I was trying to make a comment on the book discussion tonight but hadn’t yet subscribed to Spree. Oh well, just wanted to mention that Rose Wilder Lane’s childhood story was told by Roger MacBride in a continuation of the Little House series (I believe also in collaboration with RWL). And a good book to help understand the family dynamic is “West from Home” from the visit that Laura made to San Francisco to visit Rose during the Panamerican Exhibition. Other fun fiction includes “Let the Hurricane Roar” and “Old Home Town,” the latter a collection of short stories.
Thanks for sharing Leanne – loved the Little House series growing up. Discovery of Freedom is one of the more powerful liberty texts I’ve read yet.
