Laura Ingalls & Bertha Russell Lived at the SAME Time. One Got Rich One Got CRUSHED

Little House on the Prairie and The Gilded Age happened at the EXACT same time. While Bertha Russell wore $10,000 gowns in New York City, Mary Ingalls was wearing her mother's hand-me-downs in Walnut Grove. But this wasn't just about money - it was about a massive railroad scandal that crushed families like the Ingalls while making men like George Russell filthy rich. With Melissa Gilbert back in the news standing by her husband Timothy Busfield as he faces serious charges, I couldn't stop thinking about that heartbreaking Little House episode where Mary gets fashion-shamed at a Chicago dance. Turns out, that episode exposed REAL railroad corruption - bribes, stolen money, and a conspiracy that went all the way to the Vice President of the United States. The Crédit Mobilier scandal. $44 million stolen. $500,000 a year in bribes. And the Ingalls family had to WORK for the same railroads that were destroying them. Wealth bought time. Poverty rushed everything.
