Among a great many other things Charles Ingalls in the books was a furniture
maker. He worked logging and as a teamster on occasions. The mother took a
job as a cook once.

The idea of homestead farm produce supporting all the cash needs of the
enterprise is, says I, a modern construct. When in history did it ever
happen that
way?
