| Yes; Iv'e read the Bender's story written by Laura in "The Little House Sampler" . It was in a spech that Laura gave in Detroit, in 1937, when speaking about her writing , explaining that in her children books she told the truth, but not the whole truth, and that she left a lot of stories out of her "Little House books", because they were not suitable for children. This story always sacred me a little, because Laura made clear that Benders might be killed, and that perhaps Pa himself was one of the men who killed them...  Vanesa | |

| Little Slaughterhouse On The Prairie, leave it to the Daily Mail for that headline.  Story reminds me of Sweeney Todd, minus the cannibalism of course. | |
