 A HARVEST OF FRIENDS September 11, 1974
"Home is the nicest word there is." The Ingalls settle on the banks of Plum Creek in Walnut Grove. Charles must work very
hard in order to prepare the farm, and takes on three jobs. When he is injured after a fall from a tree, it looks as if they might
lose everything. O'Neill goes to get the Ingalls Oxen, which Charles put up for collatoral, and Laura and Mary rush to his side
to help him. The men of Walnut Grove come to his aid, after seeing how unfeeling O'Neill was.
