But my question still remains about the names of Martha's siblings-are those the real names?

Were those her real siblings names? Was her father really a laird? If so, how did her family allow her to marry a villager? Did she marry in Scotland or after she came to America?

I live about 3 hours from Boston and am now getting quite intrigued by the idea of seeing where Charlotte grew up; I'd really like to take my six year old son (with whom I am reading the Martha/Charlotte books) to Roxbury. Especially if you have any details about the graves of Martha and the little siblings that died, it would be wonderful if you could share those facts so we can make a "pilgrimage" to Charlotte's childhood when we get to those books. Thanks in advance! I too would greatly appreciate if you can share some of the factual sources about Charlotte’s life and such things as where Martha died.

I just read waaaay down in your blog that there wouldn't be any more Martha books. I have a couple of questions... How much of the books are based on fact? Is there anywhere else where I can get information on her? How the heck did her parents let her marry a blacksmith? Is there anywhere where I can find that story of her later life (before the Charlotte years)? Ahhh. I just read waaaay down in your blog that there wouldn’t be any more Martha books.

I am 17 and a half years old and I still love reading all of the little house books. I must say, the Martha years are my favourites. I bought the first one as soon as I first saw it in a book store. I love them! My only problem now is that they're so easy to read and I can finish one off within a half hour. It almost makes me wish I was a slower reader. These stories really bring me back to my childhood - a childhood that is quickly ending. I can't wait to read more of them. Hello!

I thought I was on this site before and found some, but I cannot find them now. Anymore updates? We are on book 3 and are just beginning to study Scotland. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreaciated. Sue in Northern Illinois Hi Melissa - I was wondering if you have any suggestions for recipes during the Martha years?
