Testimonials

I first saw the Homesteader while visiting the Wilder Homestead in Burke, NY. I was hooked immediately. For those of us who love and appreciate the wonderful romance of the Laura Ingalls Wilder books, the places she lived, and the television series, the Homesteader is a well written and attractively bound treat that illuminates and supports the spirit of love, hope, and enduring optimism that is at the center of Laura’s important on-going legacy.
~ Dean Butler, Santa Monica, CA, from the "Little House on the Prairie" cast

Sarah Sue Uthoff's profile of me in the Homesteader is one of the best written in 25 years.
~ Barbara Walker, author of the Little House Cookbook

The article in the Summer 2003 issue was the best thing ever done about "Dear Laura." I am very impressed with your grasp of what we told you and the way you wrote it up. That takes talent!
~ June Silliman, "Dear Laura" at the website of the Hoover Presidential Library and Museum

I was ecstatic when my husband bought me all the back issues and a subscription to The Homesteader! Laura has been my all-time favorite author since I started reading her books in the second grade. I enjoy so much reading about her true stories! Thank you for publishing it!
~ Rebecca White, Independence, MO

The Homesteader is super, the best quality journal in the LIW field, with articles of interest to both the scholar and the fan, the young and the old - quite a difficult feat, but accomplished with perfectionism, professionalism and obvious pleasure.
~ subscriber and longtime LIW fan in California

I've wanted to know more about the real Laura since I first fell in love with her books in the second grade. The Homesteader finally gives me the chance to learn the true stories behind the Little House® series and has increased my pleasure in re-reading them. The writing is terrific, professional, warm and informative and getting the next issue is always a call for celebration!
~ Dawn, writer and homeschooling mom in Columbus, OH

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your work in putting out the Homesteader newsletter. What a great resource for us “Laura fanatics” I have read and re-read the copies I have and eagerly await future issues. Thanks!
~ Jennifer Savoy, Laura’s 10th cousin 4 times removed, New Hampshire

I picked it up just to read my granddaughter's article and it was so interesting, I kept getting stalled reading the rest of it.
