In 1935, Rose Wilder Lane, the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder, was at a crossroads in her life. Financially, she had weathered the low points of the Great Depression but still found herself on unstable ground after orchestrating the construction of a new building called the Rock House on her family's Mansfield property. Personally, the relationship between Rose and her mother had grown especially strained. In this More Missouri Moments mini-episode of the Our Missouri Podcast, Caroline Fraser, our guest from "Episode 2: Prairie Fires," takes us to the summer of 1935 when Rose Wilder Lane moved into the Tiger Hotel in Columbia and began work on what would become an unsuccessful book project about Missouri history.

It is a tremendous turnoff to hear Ms. Fraser laugh at moments when she is speaking of RWL’s mental illness and even laughing when she speaks of this woman’s financial woes and while sweating in a hot hotel. I fail to see the humor in another person’s misfortunes! Laughing while describing RWL’s history speaks volumes more as to the character of Ms. Fraser.
