At the age of sixty-five, Laura Ingalls Wilder began writing a series of novels for young people based
on her early experiences on the American frontier. Born in the state of Wisconsin in 1867, she and her
family were rugged pioneers. Seeking better farm land, they went by covered wagon to Missouri in 1869,
then on the Kansas the next year, returning to Wisconsin in 1871, and traveling on to Minnesota and Iowa
before setting permanently in South Dakota in 1879. Because of this constant moving, Wilder’s early

2
education took place sporadically in a succession of one-room schools. From age thirteen to sixteen, she
attended schools more regularly, although she never graduated.
At the age of eighteen, she married Almanzo James Wilder. They bought a small farm in the Ozarks,
where they remained for the rest of their lives. Their only daughter, Rose, who had become a nationally
known journalist, encouraged her mother to write. Serving as an agent and editor, Rose negotiated with
Harper’s to publish her mother’s first book, Little House in the Big Woods. Seven more books followed, each
chronicling her early life on the plains. Written from the perspective of a child, they have remained popular
with young readers from many nations. Twenty years after her death in 1957, a weekly television series,
Little House on The Prairie, was produced, based on the stories from the Wilder books.
