The Little House on the Prairie by Rose Wilder Lane

As someone who lived through the Reagan years and all of that stuff, you couldn't hope for a better messenger. I mean, he managed to sell it to me by and large. He was very gold water as best spokesman during Goldwater's presidential campaign. The Little House in the Prairie books were kind of ghost written by Rose Wilder Lane. You never see the federal government in these books portrayed in any kind of positive light.
