Laura Ingalls Wilder is celebrated for her autobiographical fiction that helped record the expansion of the American frontier into the Midwest. Laura was born in 1867 to Charles and Caroline Ingalls in a log cabin north of Pepin, Wisconsin in the woods that border the upper Mississippi River: their "Little House in the Big Woods". When she was two years old, she and her family moved to Indian country in the territory of Kansas, the setting for "Little House on the Prairie." They returned to Wisconsin before moving to a dugout dwelling "On the Banks of Plum Creek" near Walnut Grove, Minnesota. Eventually, her father accepted a railroad job in 1879 moving everyone to DeSmet, South Dakota. She began a brief teaching career two months shy of her 16th birthday. That ended when she married 28-year-old Almanzo Wilder. After early years burdened with crop failures and health problems, they ended up in the Mansfield, Missouri area. The Wilders were always short of funds, so their daughter Rose, already a well established writer, encouraged Laura to write her stories to sell to publishers. Her initial autobiography, "Pioneer Girl", was rejected with suggestions to rewrite it for children. Rose was hugely responsible for the successful transformation of this manuscript into the Little House series. The first of those was published when Laura was 65. The pair kept secret that Rose was ghostwriting the books from her mother's notes. This became apparent from letters between the two that have now surfaced.

Born on September 26, 1869 in the Armenian homeland of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, Komitas was a frail, weak boy, but with a perfect singing voice. Despite humble life circumstances, it was his voice that brought Komitas to the Holy See of Echmiadzin where, not being able to speak Armenian because it was forbidden by the Turks, Komitas addressed the supreme bishop, Catholicos Gevorg IV, "I don't speak Armenian, if you wish I will sing." His genius apparent, Komitas went on to study at the music college in Tiflis (Tbilisi), Georgia, then to Constantinople, Berlin, and Paris. Renowned musicians of the day, Vincent d'Indy, Gabriel Faure', and Camille Saint-Saens, were entranced by Komitas's music. The French composer Claude Debussi, following a concerto by Komitas, exclaimed, "Brilliant father Komitas! I bow before your musical genius!" The driving quest of Komitas's passion, his dream, was to bring to the world the music and folklore, both ancient and modern, of Armenian culture. He would travel the countryside of his Armenian homeland in search of not only Armenian songs and dance, but also that of the Kurds, Turks, and Persians. Komitas would meticulously record and interpret these gems of Anatolian culture to a wider European audience. Had Komitas been allowed to live out his life in fulfillment of his dream, what wonderful music can only be imagined. Tragically, this was not to be. Instead Komitas found himself a part of the other Armenian intellectuals and community leaders of Constantinople that were taken to a death march on the night of April 24, 1915. What Komitas experienced, the abject brutality and torture, defies description. Although spared death because of the intervention of influential Europeans and Americans, the experience led Komitas on a descent into madness. He was put into a French psychiatric hospital in 1916 where he spent the remaining years of his life until his death in 1935.
