West From Home by Laura Ingalls Wilder

Letters of Laura Ingalls Wilder, San Francisco, 1915

A short collection of letters written during a 1915 visit to San Francisco, offering plainspoken, homesick, and often humorous observations of city life and the Panama-Pacific International Exposition; the correspondent contrasts modern conveniences and urban sights with rural routines, expresses maternal concern and longing for home, and reveals a candid, resilient voice shaped by farm life.
