Of course, poor Laura Ingalls Wilder has, like almost all white folks born before 1980, been exposed and denounced Salem style, by wanker academics, as a vile racist. But in this mixed race household, the great libertarian remains hugely popular. Little House in the Big Woods is probably my favourite of her books but as Joshua and I surveyed our wood store, it is The Long Winter that springs to mind. The hero of that tale of a bitter winter in De Smet Dakota is an Indian, oops Native American, who warns the evil white colonists of what lies in store.
