I think some folks have a misconception about times past. They WERE brutal, you just don't have the kind of historical accountability you have now. People carried guns everyday and used them. Children didn't carry them to school because the average person owned a shotgun or rifle if they had a weapon. People who owned pistols had reason and tended to carry them. Many children also only attended school a few years. Enough to get literate and math smart if you were bright. Bad kids usually didn't bother with school. Many kids were on their own in their early teens if they didn't have a family farm or business to help with. ------------------ Member of ORT Master Barbsman and weilder of the razor wit!

I'm just trying to say that Little House on the Prairie was a bit optimistic in it's portrayal of times.
