5 ‘Little House on the Prairie’ episodes that still give me the feels
It’s been 50 years since the familyfriendly TV series “Little House on the Prairie” premiered on NBC. The series was loosely based on Laura Ingalls Wilder’s popular children’s book of the same name that chronicled her life growing up on the Plains.
At the time, NBC executive Ed Friendly had acquired the rights to the books and asked Michael Landon to direct a feature-length pilot. Landon would do it on one condition — that he play the patriarch Charles Ingalls. Friendly agreed. Landon not only became “Pa” but would go on to serve as executive producer, writer and director of the show.
I was enamored by “Little House” because Laura (played by Melissa Gilbert) was a 9-year-old girl who went on great adventures. As I grew older and found out that the series was based on books, I begged my mom to take me to the library, where I devoured every one of them.
The TV series started with the third book of the series, in which the family lives in Plum Creek near Walnut Grove in Minnesota. Over the course of the series, they were often forced to move from city to city due to drought, lack of work and other factors, until they made it back to Walnut Grove.
What I loved about the show was its cast of characters. In addition to Landon, the Ingalls family included mother Caroline (Karen Grassle), oldest sister Mary (Melissa Sue Anderson), middle child Laura, and Carrie (twins Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush). Eventually, they would add the youngest Grace (twins Wendi and Brenda Turnbaugh) and adopt Albert (Matthew Labyorteaux).
The cast of characters included the Olesons, who owned the town store, Nels (Richard Bull), Harriett (Katherine MacGregor), Laura’s nemesis Nelly (Alison Arngrim) and Willie Oleson (played by Jonathan Gilbert and was Melissa’s real-life brother), as well as accomplished veteran actors Victor French as Mr. Edwards, Dabbs Greer as the Rev. Robert Alden and Kevin Hagen as Hiram “Doc” Baker.
There would be a cast of characters added and taken away through the series including Kyle Richards, who played Alicia, the adopted daughter of Mr. Edwards and his wife Grace (Bonnie
Bartlett); Jason Bateman, who was later taken in by the Ingalls with his sister, Cassandra, played Melissa Francis who later became a Fox News anchor, and near the end of its run Shannen Doherty who played Jenny Wilder, the niece of Laura’s husband Almanzo Wilder (Dean Butler).
Unfortunately, the show did get a bit of ribbing because of its family storylines and the fact that Landon could cry at the drop of a hat. Landon balanced family messages with a tinge of faith and humor. He didn’t shy away from the harshness of the 19th century and living on the prairie. Many of the episodes forced parents to have some hard talks with their kids. It was hard, but I whittled this down to five of my favorite episodes that still give me the feels.
1. “Sylvia” (Season 7, 1981). In this two-part episode, a teenage girl gets raped and finds out she’s pregnant. She is taunted by members of the town for being unwed and with a child. Albert wants to marry her and promises to raise the child as his own. Before they can, the rapist, who dons a clown mask, finds Sylvia again. While trying to flee him, Sylvia falls off a ladder and dies. This episode was terrifying. I had nightmares for weeks.
2. “May We Make Them Proud” (Season 6, 1980). Landon loved two-part series episodes when emotions were involved, and this also is a whole tissue box of cries. Mary and her husband Adam Kendall (Linwood Boomer), were hosting a charity picnic for their new blind school, and the whole town is there. Mary’s brother Albert and a friend decide it’s a good idea to play with matches and accidentally catch the building on fire. The fire results in the death of Mary and Adam’s newborn son Adam Jr., and Alice Garvey (Hersha Parady), the wife of Jonathan Garvey (football icon Merlin Olsen) and the mother of Andrew (played by Patrick Labyorteaux, real-life brother of Matthew aka Albert and later “NCIS” cast member). This one really hurt. I rewatched it last month, and it still made me ugly-cry. However, it allowed Olsen to expand his acting chops as his character turned to alcohol to cope with his wife’s passing.
3. “The Lord is My Shepherd”
(Season 1, 1974). In this episode, the Ingalls have a son whom they name Charles. Laura, who was a daddy’s girl, gets jealous of the attention the baby is getting and wishes he was never born. Baby Charles later dies of what we would call SIDS today, and while her family is grieving, Laura believes her wish to God came true and blames herself for his death. Ernest Borgnine makes a special appearance in this episode. Landon explores the grief of a child and sibling with gentle hands.
4. “I’ll be Waving as You Drive Away” (Season 4, 1978). In yet another two-part episode, we see the Ingalls’ eldest daughter, Mary (Anderson), go from struggling with blurry vision while studying for her teaching exam to losing her sight. Watching Anderson learn how to navigate a young girl losing her vision while on the cusp of womanhood and fulfilling all her dreams is heartbreaking. It is no wonder she won a Primetime Emmy Award for Best Leading Actress in a Drama Series that same year. Although the show was supposed to be focused on Laura, this storyline gave the character of Mary more juicier drama to tackle.

5. “The Return of Mr. Edwards” (Season 6, 1979). Victor French was a dear friend of Landon’s since their “Bonanza” days. He later starred alongside him in the series “Highway to Heaven.” By this time, Mr. Edwards had been gone for a couple of seasons so French could pursue his own short-lived series. In his return
and in true “Little House” fashion, this reunion isn’t a happy gathering. When he’s home, he has a logging accident in which he saves his daughter Alicia. But he is badly injured and might not be able to work. Thinking he is useless to his family and friends, he invites Charles for a hunting trip. However, Charles soon realizes that Edwards is trying to kill himself and make it look like an accident. Of course, his buddy is there to teach him that he is loved.
And for a special mention: “The Last Farewell” (Season 9, 1984). Technically, this is part of the retitled “Little House on Prairie: A New Beginning.” The new title reflects when Grassle and Landon left the show and continued on with a married Laura and her husband, “Manny.” In this made-for-TV movie, Caroline and Charles return, and a tycoon wants to take over the town. Not giving up without a fight, the townspeople blow up the town as a shocking final farewell to the series. The series was over and the real owners had it in the contract that they had to return the land the same as when they bought it. So all the beloved structures except the church and the little house become kindling. As a heartfelt farewell to fans, the town’s people marched out singing “Onward Christian Soldiers,” a fitting tribute because that was the hymn of choice during the church scenes. Today neither the church nor the little house are still standing, as wildfires destroyed them in two separate events.
I could write a book on how many great episodes there were during the nine seasons of “Little House on the Prairie,” which includes the airing of “Little House on the Prairie: A New Beginning.” Today, many of the surviving cast members have gathered to celebrate the 50 years the show has been on the air during its original run and the years it’s been in reruns. Sadly, Michael Landon died at the age of 54, less than four months after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. If that had been a two-part episode, it would have been a three-tissue-box tearjerker for sure.

THE LONG BOX
The Musical!’ will return to Frederick
A lot can happen in 15 years.
That’s the time elapsed between Landless Theatre Company’s 2008 D.C. premiere of “Gutenberg! The Musical!” and the show’s 2023 Broadway opening with “Book of Mormon” stars Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad. The Broadway production is now closed, but Landless’ acclaimed production is coming back to Frederick.
Landless will bring its hit production of “Gutenberg! The Musical!” to New Spire Arts in Frederick on April 19 to 21. The Off-Broadway musical is directed by John Sadowsky with music direction by Charles Johnson and accompaniment by Lisa Mattia.
In “Gutenberg! The Musical!,” written by “Beetlejuice The Musical” authors Scott Brown and Anthony King, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backers’ audition for their new project: a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass, historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract — fulfilling their ill-advised dreams.
The 2008 D.C. production was named a Washington Post Editor’s Pick, and critic Bob Anthony wrote, “This show is so good it should run for a whole year.”
“Well, we showed him — we’ve been going a lot longer than a year,” said Andrew Baughman, who plays Bud opposite his real-life brother Matt as Doug. The production has continued to tour over the years, including two Frederick performances at the former Cultural Arts Center and Maryland Ensemble Theatre.
The Baughman brothers are cofounders of Landless Theatre and regular performers with the company, and both have been seen in many productions at the MET over the years.
The recent Broadway production starring Gad and Rannells was punctuated by special guest cameos ranging from Lin Manuel Miranda to Triumph the Insult Dog. Sadowsky assures audiences, “You can expect some local celebrities to make an appearance in Frederick.”
But does “Gutenberg! The Musical!” get better with time?
“We definitely refine our comedy and pick up new tricks as we play to different audiences,” said Matt Baughman. “And now we’ve had a chance to steal the parts we like from the Broadway production.”
Frederick performances are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Tickets to “Gutenberg!” and all Landless season shows are available at weinbergcenter.org.

“Manhunt,” now streaming on Apple TV+.
The National Museum of Civil War Medicine on Apple
TV’s ‘Manhunt’ and the story of Lincoln’s assassination
BY ERIN JONES Special to The News-Post
It’s a scene that has haunted the pages of American history books and classrooms for a century and half. Venerated President Abraham Lincoln slumped over in the Presidential Box at Ford’s Theatre in D.C., suffering from a gunshot wound to the head, while actor-turned-assassin John Wilkes Booth, having leapt to the stage, cries out, “Sic semper tyrannis” (Thus always to tyrants).
Apple TV+ has now brought that scene and the ensuing events to life in its new series “Manhunt,” based on James L. Swanson’s book of the same title. The pilot, released March 15, drops viewers into the harrowing and turbulent days following the end of the Civil War, and each week, another episode brings the story closer to its April 19 finale.
For the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick, the series brings with it the opportunity to share their unique perspective on both the show and the surrounding historic events.
David Price, executive director of the museum, imagines that if President Lincoln had been shot at the beginning of the Civil War, the response would have been entirely different.
“Prior to the Civil War, there were only a handful of doctors that had ever treated a gunshot wound,” he said. “They’re treating sickness, they’re treating arrow wounds out West, they’re treating farm accidents, but nobody’s really shooting each other.”
By the time the war had ended in 1865,
the volume of gunshot wounds treated propelled the development and understanding of the medical practices necessary to do so. That’s just one of many examples of medical knowledge that stemmed from the Civil War.
“Civil War medicine is the birth of the modern healthcare system in America,” Price said. “It takes us from last place to first in medical knowledge in the world, and it’s all a direct result of the sheer number of patients. It’s a silver lining in a very dark cloud.”
By the time of President Lincoln’s assassination, many of the practices developed in the battlefield had begun to shape civilian medical practices as well. Major Jonathan Letterman (1824-1872) was instrumental in developing systems of triage and became known as the Father of Battlefield Medicine. These systems were reflected in Lincoln’s treatment.
“The first level of care would have been a field dressing station, which would have been close to the action.” Price explained. “Let’s call that the response to the assassination in the [theater] box. The job of that level of care is to simply stop bleeding … . And then they tried to move him to another level of care.” Lincoln was moved across the street from the theater to the Petersen House, which is what Price compares to a field hospital, the second level of care in Letterman’s system. The next level of care should have been the more advanced pavilion hospital, but Lincoln died at the Petersen House the morning after the shooting.
Would Lincoln have survived today?
“Probably not. Nobody knows,” Price said. “I am confident they did the best they could in a chaotic situation with the most famous man in the world at the time.”
A secondary medical plot point in “Manhunt” is the broken leg that John Wilkes Booth sustains while jumping from the box to the stage. After his escape, he is treated by Dr. Samuel Mudd (Matt Walsh).
“Mudd mentions to the authorities, to the Union soldiers, that he didn’t bother to make a patient file [on Booth] because the guy was just traveling through,” Price said. While Price is skeptical that a country doctor would have the standard practice of opening patient files on a passing visitor, the line nonetheless references the transformative value of record-keeping in Civil War medicine.
Early on, Letterman and others intentionally established documentation as a mandated medical practice. “They knew if they wrote down and recorded all of these cases, how they dealt with them and whether they were successful or not, more lives would be saved in future conflicts,” Price said. “And that’s pretty forward thinking.”
The comprehensive volume of documentation not only served as building blocks and guideposts in the development of modern medicine but now provides a wealth of resources for historians. The National Museum of Civil War Medicine has partnered on projects with Ford’s Theatre and the Petersen House in D.C.
They have also advised TV producers on shows like PBS’s “Mercy Street.” “The producers came and met in my office and
got the basic layout of Civil War medicine of the time,” Price said. “They used us on every episode. We even had staff members on set several times.”
When a show like “Manhunt” brings this era of history to the foreground of popular culture, Price considers it a win for the museum, particularly as it depicts trained medical personnel. His advice to any whose interest in Civil War medical history may be piqued?
“Come see us. We tell some great stories here. If you are a Civil War buff, eventually you’re going to get to our side of the story, and you’re going to wish you had from day one.”
After all, Civil War medicine history is also Frederick history. Handpicked by Letterman because of its railway, highway and river access, Frederick played host to injured evacuees from nearby battlefields such as Antietam. Twenty-seven local buildings were taken over as hospitals. The community came out in droves to roll bandages and make pies and jellies.
“The history of how Frederick responded during the Civil War is one that we should really emulate and be proud of,” Price said.

Law Office of Lena A. Clark
2023 WINNER FOR BEST LAW FIRM – ESTATE LAW
OUR NINE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
This month, we celebrate our nine-year anniversary! We opened our doors April 17, 2015, and made an offer on our forever home on West Patrick Street in October of 2015. In our early days, we had only two employees, including Attorney Clark. Nine years later, we have eleven employees. We even purchased a second office space just across the parking lot! Our consultations and client meetings will remain at our original location.
This month also marks two years since Attorney Clark’s dad passed away, leaving Attorney Clark, her brother, and her mom to settle his modest estate back in Estonia. Despite encouragement from Attorney Clark, her parents never created Wills and Revocable Living Trusts. At 68-years old, her dad thought he had years left to create an Estate Plan leaving his possessions to his beloved wife! Instead, Estonian law dictated that his estate, including his marital home of 38 years, would be split equally between his wife and children.
To make things worse, Attorney Clark couldn’t just forfeit her share of the estate because, by Estonian law, it would be passed to her then one-year-old son, who couldn’t disclaim until age 18! Attorney Clark’s mom was legally responsible for
maintaining and paying taxes on a property that she wanted to sell. Eventually, Attorney Clark and her brother found an expensive solution and were able to “gift” their shares to their mom. Luckily, there was no Gift Tax issue, which would have applied under US law.
WHY IS ESTATE PLANNING IMPORTANT?
Life is unpredictable, and the unexpected can happen at any time. Having a solid Estate Plan can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Our team is on a mission to make sure your family does not have to go through what Attorney Clark’s family had to endure.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR CREATING A WILL?
We ask all Potential Clients to submit an Estate Planning Questionnaire and consultation payment before the consultation so that the initial meeting time is used productively.
At the consultation, we review your questionnaire and discuss your goals. Within a few weeks, you will come in, review and sign the documents, and leave with peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are taken care of.
Attorney Clark has been working in Trusts and Estates law for twenty years and running this firm for nine years. We know Estate Planning!

(Continued from 6)
rent jazz artist you would like people to check out? I’m a big fan of Jason Moran. I don’t know if you listen to him, but ...
That’s actually the person I was going to say! I absolutely love Jason Moran’s music, especially when he plays swing in a more modern style. I think that’s very comparable to the sound that we’re achieving on this record. If you listen to Jason Moran’s “Bandwagon” record, you hear moments of stride piano but then things take a turn and you’re not sure if it’s avant-garde or free, but the band is still clinging really hard. Those are the types of things I really love listening to myself. And I’d like to expand in that area.
I saw him perform Monk’s “Live From Town Hall” years ago and it was fantastic. Have you ever seen him live?
I haven’t seen him live. I messaged him on social media though, and he was kind enough to listen to one of the tracks on the album and give me some
EVERLYS
(Continued from 7)
song came in 1957, the hugely popular “Bye Bye Love.” It hit No. 1 in the spring, shortly after I was born, and stayed there for four weeks. You know the chorus: “Bye-bye love/ Bye-bye happiness/ Hello loneliness/ I think I’m-a gonna cry-y.”
Huge hits would follow, like “Wake Up Little Susie,” “All I Have To Do Is Dream” (my No. 1 all-time favorite song about dreaming!), “When Will I Be Loved” (perhaps made more famous by Linda Ronstadt in 1974), “So Sad,” “Crying in the Rain” and “Problems.” Their biggest-selling single of all time, “Cathy’s Clown,” came in 1960. You know this one, too: “Here he co-o-oomes: That’s Cathy’s clown.”
In a move that would be unheard of today, the brothers enlisted in the Marine Corps Reserve in 1961. Elvis did the very same thing. There were very few military exemptions back then, and it beat being drafted and sent to Vietnam.
But, unfortunately, unlike Elvis, the Everlys’ output and fame fell off upon their return. Their last big hit came in 1962 with “That’s Old Fashioned (That’s the Way Love Should Be).” The British Invasion took hold shortly thereafter, curtailing or ending the careers of many rock ‘n’ roll pioneers. They did, however, launch a successful touring career in the ’60s. In the ’70s, the brothers began releasing solo recordings — but no hits — and officially broke up in 1973.
kind words. That was really nice. What else do you have planned for 2024?
On July 27, we’re going to be playing at the Y Arts Performing Center in Frederick. It will be the same trio that’s on the album. We’ll be doing some of the record and some of my favorite standards but in that modern style we talked about. I’m really excited to get to play for the Frederick community. In addition to that, we’ve got music festivals and we’re doing multiple things in Richmond this year. We’ll be trying to play out as much as possible.
This interview has been edited for space and clarity.
Colin McGuire has been in and out of bands for more than 20 years and also helps produce concerts in and around Frederick. His work has appeared in Alternative Press magazine, PopMatters and 72 Hours, among other outlets. He is convinced that the difference between being in a band and being in a romantic relationship is less than minimal. Contact him at mcguire. colin@gmail.com.

They got back together for a while in the ’80s, performing periodically until Phil’s death in 2014. Don died seven years later in 2021.
In 2015, Rolling Stone ranked the Everlys as the No. 1 greatest musical duo of all time. They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in the inaugural class of 1986, along with such firstname luminaries as Elvis, Chuck, Buddy and Jerry Lee. The Everlys were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Musician’s Hall of Fame and Museum in 2019.
By all accounts, they were unaffected by their meteoric stardom. They said in 1960 at the height of their popularity, “We’re not Grand Ole Opry ... we’re obviously not Perry Como ... we’re just pop music.”
