Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder (1)

The book starts out with Laura talking about how the house looks and things around their home. She then describes her Pa smoking deer meat and all the ways her family stored different types of food for winter, because it was coming soon. Like the garden and slaughtering the pig; also what comes along with the pig. Ma makes provisions like cheese and smoking more meat. Laura them moves on to talk about what they did in the winter since they couldn't go outside. Her Pa would play the fiddle and tell stories that Laura and her sister Mary would enjoy.

Resopnse- This chapter was interesting because I never knew how meat was smoked, even in the 1800s.
