my obsession with the original pioneer girl – rants, raves & random bits of laura ingalls wilder research, past and present
The LIW/RWL Home & Museum in Mansfield, Missouri, is selling a great cd of fiddle music featuring Pa’s fiddle played by Bruce Hoffman. A blurb on the cover says that Pa’s fiddle “was built in the mid 1800′s and was believed to have been a promotional gift from a seed company.”
I had never heard this before; I wonder who decided or discovered that bit of information, and how much faith should be placed in this “belief”?
