 | An inspiring life, well lived Mar 24, 2006 |
This is a short biography of Eliza Jane Wilder, Laura Ingalls Wilder's sister-in-law. And what a life it was. Together with the biographical information, the author also reprints EJ's own short autobiographical affidavit in which she details her triumphs and losses as a homesteader in the Dakota Territory. It makes for heartbreaking reading. Her health broke down many times, but she always preservered. Although she was not ultimately strong enough in health to keep her homestead claim, she was able to last the 5-year period necessary to acheive ownership of her property. Her life thereafter did not lose color or interest. She was a true pioneer in many areas: her choice of work, her lifestyle, her marriages, giving birth late in life. She lived to the age of 80 and her memory has been treasured by her grandchildren and extended family.
The book itself is a softcover, almost-pamphlet/booklet issued by the site that maintains the Ingalls family DeSmet homestead, but DON'T let that put you off. It's good quality, printed with a glossy cover & the printing is fine. The author is a historian of the Ingalls/Wilder family and obviously has a great deal of respect and admiration for the families. A well-written history of EJ's life, with photographs of her I'd never seen -- what a pretty woman, which you would never know from the terrible TV series or from Laura's books.
I think what I appreciated most about this little biography is that it saves EJ's well-lived life from oblivion, and corrects a great wrong done to her by her famous sister-in-law's portrayal.
