The Annotated Autobiography – Laura Ingalls Wilder, edited by Pamela Smith Hill (re-read)

I decided to give this a re-read after re-reading Little House on the Prairie which I decided to re-read after wanting to remind myself about the depiction of Native Americans. So after Little House I wanted to remind myself what years Laura actually lived in Indian Territory – I had remembered it being at something like age 2, which made me wonder how she could write such vivid memories of the experience, or any memories at all. Turns out she was there from age 2 up to age 4 or 5 – age when memories can definitely be recollected, especially when probably reinforced by other family members later in life.
