The semi-autobiographical books
of Laura
Ingalls Wilder detailed her life in a pioneering family.
She
was
the
second of Charles and Caroline Wilders children and was
born near Pepin, Wisconsin in 1867 in what was
called
the Big Woods.
Charles was a restless man and settled the family in the Indian
territory of Kansas before returning to Wisconsin.
The
itch
struck
him again and the family relocated to the Dakota territory
where
he worked with the railroad in DeSmet, South Dakota,
where
they
watched
the town spring up around them. It was here that Laura
met Alamanzo Wilder, whom she later married. She was a teacher,
but
when
she married, became a prairie farmers wife.
Her
life at this
point was hard and often disasterous and included the death of her
newborn son, fire, drought and sickness, events that she
detailed in
The Fiirst
Four Years. Laura and Alamanzo finally found their
place when
they
relocated to Missouri and began farming
again. Over the
years,
with the help of Alamanzos family, they purchased a property
and built
a
successful dairy and fruit farm
Laura Ingalls Wilders books are part fiction, but present many events
and characters from her own life.
