| Plot Summary of Missouri Homestead |
|---|
" Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family have just arrived in Missouri, as are hundreds of other families from all over the world. With her husband Manly and Rose, her seven year old daughter, they find a broken down farm to buy. Following many hardships in the years, they come to have a thriving farm.
An outspoken, fiercely devoted woman working as a journalist, Laura gains the approval and disapproval of the community in Mansfield. Her articles one day criticize a lumber company, because of the waste of trees. Unknowingly, men are injecting poison into the trees to make more money. Then, they attack Laura's farm, harming the trees. Can she stop them before it's too late?"
