[quoteem]LANE, Rose Wilder
Born 5 December 1886, De Smet, South Dakota; died 30 October 1968, Danbury, Connecticut
Daughter of Almanzo and Laura Ingalls Wilder; married Gillette Lane, 1909
Unconventional from the first, Rose Wilder Lane left her parents' Mansfield, Missouri, home to work as a telegraph operator for Western Union. She married a land speculator whose ne'erdo-well behavior soon forced Lane to fend for herself as the first woman real estate agent in California. She was a reporter for the San Francisco Bulletin from 1914 to 1918. Written during this period, and indicative of her admiration for American heroes, are Henry Ford's Own Story (1917) and The Making of Herbert Hoover (1920), both panegyrics to men she considered archetypally American in their resourcefulness and individualism. After formally divorcing her husband, Lane worked for the American Red Cross during World War I, primarily in Russia, Turkey, and Albania. The Peaks of Shala (1923) is a travelogue of her adventures in Albania.[/quoteem]
"Moreover, you scorned our people, and compared the Albanese to sheep, and according to your custom think of us with insults. Nor have you shown yourself to have any knowledge of my race. Our elders were Epirotes, where this Pirro came from, whose force could scarcely support the Romans. This Pirro, who Taranto and many other places of Italy held back with armies. I do not have to speak for the Epiroti. They are very much stronger men than your Tarantini, a species of wet men who are born only to fish. If you want to say that Albania is part of Macedonia I would concede that a lot more of our ancestors were nobles who went as far as India under Alexander the Great and defeated all those peoples with incredible difficulty. From those men come these who you called sheep. But the nature of things is not changed. Why do your men run away in the faces of sheep?"
Letter from Skanderbeg to the Prince of Taranto ▬ Skanderbeg, October 31 1460

Re: Rose Wilder Lane
[quoteem]She traveled extensively in Europe and Asia as part of the Red Cross. In 1926, Lane, Helen Dore Boylston and their French maid traveled from France to Albania in a car they had named "Zenobia". An account of the journey, Travels With Zenobia: Paris to Albania by Model T Ford was published in 1983. Lane became enamored with Albania, and lived there for several long periods during the 1920s, spaced between sojourns to Paris and her parents' Rocky Ridge Farm in Missouri. She informally adopted a young Albanian boy named Rexh Meta, who she claimed saved her life on a dangerous mountain trek; she later sponsored his education at Oxford University in England[/quoteem]
