Siam: Margaret on Her Journey Stateside Without Kenneth for Furlough

Siam: Margaret on Her Journey Stateside Without Kenneth for Furlough

Margaret tells of her trip home from Thailand on the Landon's first furlough, in 1931. While Kenneth traveled around the world one way, so as to visit the Holy Land, she traveled around the world the other way, with Peggy and Bill. Peggy was four, and Bill three. The Landons didn't have enough money to take the whole family to the Holy Land, and Margaret was eager to get home to see her mother, who had had a series of setbacks.
