Here is your question:
A chapter title in one of the LITTLE HOUSE books includes the word “Texas.” Which book is it, and what is the chapter’s full title?

Over the last year or so, it’s been my distinct pleasure to serve as the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historical Consultant to LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, THE MUSICAL. And what a gig it’s been! My experiences have included developing the educational guide and trivia questions found on this website, checking the script for historical accuracy, writing content for the official souvenir program, and hosting a LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, THE MUSICAL trivia contest in the town of Keystone, South Dakota, where Carrie Ingalls spent her later years. I even weighed in on an online battle being waged about who was “cooler”: Anne of Green Gables or Laura Ingalls Wilder (the answer is obvious, and the obvious answer won the poll).
Two events stand out most in my mind: sharing a high-five with Melissa Gilbert at the cast party following the opening night performance last October, and watching my little niece’s reactions to the musical when we saw it together in Toronto (she really enjoyed the song “I Can Rock,” and has been occasionally rocking–while imitating Carrie–ever since). Best of all, this job–and I hesitate to even call it a “job,” because it’s been so much fun–allowed me to revisit (as if I ever stop “visiting” it), the life and legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and think about what makes her and the entire LITTLE HOUSE phenomenon so special to so many people.
One of the most exciting parts about being a “Bonnethead” (as hard-core LITTLE HOUSE fans are known), is visiting the places Laura and members of her family called home. From tiny hamlets in the Southern Tier of New York State to the crest of Russian Hill in San Francisco, there are many places far from “the prairie” that are part of the LITTLE HOUSE story.
So, for the next five Little House venues, I’ll post a new trivia question. The question will focus on the LITTLE HOUSE books, the musical, Laura’s real life and history, or the television series. The answer will somehow relate to the city (or state, or region) in which the musical is playing that week.
A winner will be randomly selected from all the correct answers submitted, and that winner will receive an autographed poster, in addition to a “genuine and authentic” prop from the First National Tour of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE, THE MUSICAL! What a deal!
