Edwards was my favorite character after Charles Ingalls. He will always remind me of my late, great best pal Steve Wallace, that has since passed away. They were both carefree spirits, loyal, able to drink and cuss up a storm and even invent a few words, and free of the material shackles of modern society, He was a great character and people like him really do exist, I know from first hand experience.

a good friend of Charles Ingalls. the girls adored him. Caroline took awhile to warm up to him until the day he trudged through a blizzard to give her girls some presents for Christmas. Mr. Edwards was rough around the edges, drank a bit  but had  heart of gold and was a true friend to all.

He went from a very single alcoholic to true blue family man and always was a great friend

Mr. Edwards was a rugged (but kind-hearted) man who was there for the
Ingalls Family when they needed him. I think he's truly a symbol
of what a loyal friend should be like.

Looked rough on the outside, but had a heart of gold.
