my obsession with the original pioneer girl – rants, raves & random bits of laura ingalls wilder research, past and present
This photo was found in the Edith Garland Dupre Library Special Collections Department of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. It is identified simply as “Miss Wilder.”
The question was asked: Could this be Rose Wilder?
I don’t think so, but I’ve been known to be wrong before. The woman in the photo is wearing eyeglasses. On first glance, there was something about the mouth and chin that reminded me of Rose, but I got over it.
Perhaps it’s a photo of one of Perley Wilder‘s daughters?
