Being a child of the 70s, I watched the "Little House" TV series pretty regularly, but I was so meh about the one book from the series that I read (Farmer Boy) that I never had any interest in picking up the rest of them. Which is probably a good thing, because it meant I never had to reconcile the wholesome, kindly Pa Ingalls on TV with the book-Pa who thought the only good Indian was a dead Indian until I was old enough to understand how fucked up so many of the American "classics" were about my family's history. :/
