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 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.
