About Little House on the Prairie by Laura
Ingalls Wilder:
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in
Little House in the Big Woods. As her classic Little House books tell us, she and
her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest. She and her husband, Almanzo
Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield,
Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books, and lived until she was
ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little
pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.
