Before getting Ernest Bramah's The Secret of the League, I read Garet Garrett's The Driver because of a discussion on MSK'S "Objectivist Living" website.  In that, Dragonfly cited Jeff Walker's The Ayn Rand Cult and I am almost done with this book now.  After laboring through the first 20 pages -- it seemed OK to start, but just bogged down -- I read the two chapters on precursors to Ayn Rand and her works. 

One of them was Harriet Martineau.  I came across her when researching Herbert Spencer for a class in sociology theory.  I missed her importance.  Apparently, she outsold Dickens in their time. 

I was surprised to discover that Rose Wilder Lane was really the author of the "Little House" books.
