Tennessee Wildcat

Growing up, I lived and breathed the Little House on the Prairie series. I read every book multiple times (or in the case of These Happy Golden Years, twenty-five times–and that's a real number, not an exaggeration). I've extensively studied fact vs. fiction on the series.

So did I want to explore the story behind Mr. Edwards? Well, of course!

Tennessee Wildcat dives deep into the heart of Kansas to determine Mr. Edwards true character. The hunt is far more complicated than it might appear. The authors poured so much research and thought it into their search that I was amazed.

Some parts of the book can get technical as far as land layout. As a Midwesterner with generations of homesteaders behind me, I found it fascinating. There are plenty of stories sprinkled throughout the book to keep the pace lively.

And now to answer the final question. Do I believe the authors' decision about Mr. Edwards at the end?

I believe I do. They laid out their findings in a logical way that convinced me–but if you want to discover what those finding were, you'll have to read the book yourself.
