I wonder how fast Rose could type on her Underwood?

I cheated on the typing test. I took it three times, until I didn't miss any words. The first time, I miss-typed three words; the second time, one. I never took typing in school; I taught myself to type while transcribing the handwritten Pioneer Girl manuscript about ten years ago. Since then, I've transcribed all the "Little House" books (some more than once), all the manuscripts, most of the Ruralist articles, all of the Bouchie trial documents, and all of the early records of the superintendents of schools in Kingsbury County.

Rose told Laura that to get the feel of a piece, you should transcribe it.
