From the moment the Ingalls family sets out in their wagon and leaves the Little House in the Big Woods, the Little Housebooks show an unceasing push West. Real life and Manifest Destiny don’t always line up, though, and in fact the Ingalls family tracked back and forth several times before setting down in De Smet, South Dakota. The Ingalls family’...
Aw, Jack! Laura’s happy little puppy pal! Though faithful Jack tracks the fictional Laura through the books until she becomes an adolescent, Laura revealed in Pioneer Girl, the original autobiography that formed the basis for the books, that he was actually left behind in Kansas when Pa traded himfor some horses and ponies. When writing the book, L...
Everyone knows the story of how Mary Ingalls contracted scarlet fever and lost her sight permanently. Except she probably didn’t. Dr. Beth Tarini, a professor and pediatric and adolescent medicine specialist, obsessed over Mary’s diagnosis from the time she was a child, then discovered in med school that scarlet fever can’t blind someone. But viral...
Houses were small in the pioneer era, but that didn’t mean that they were all devoted to single-family living. During the “hard winter” of 1880-81, the Ingalls family took in a couple named Maggie and George Masters. George was the son of a family friend and Maggie was his new wife, who had married him in an apparent shotgun wedding situation. “Mag...
If there’s a villain in the Little House books, it’s Nellie Oleson, the snooty brat who torments Laura when they're girls and tries to steal Almanzo from Laura when they're young women. In reality, though, there wasn’t a single Nellie Oleson. She is thought to have been a composite of three real-life people named Genevieve Masters, Nellie Owens, an...
Laura gives her beau, Almanzo, a sweet nickname in the books: Manly. (She also referred to him as “the man of the place” in real life.) That’s for good reason—his name was pronouncedAl-MAN-zo, not Al-mahn-zo. The wrong pronunciation apparently took hold through the confounding influence that was the Little House on the Prairie TV show—a polarizing ...
Jan 7, 2021 · This timeline shows some important dates and places from the childhood of Laura Ingalls Wilder and names the corresponding Little House books.
- Sarah Crocker
- The Ingalls family experienced real poverty. Though the Little House books presented an idyllic view of pioneer life, the reality faced by the Ingalls family was often pretty different.
- Charles Ingalls moved his family incessantly. For much of their collective history, the Ingalls family couldn't seem to stay in one place. Charles Ingalls blamed his "wandering foot" for the constant moving, but the financial pressures on the family seem to have played a pretty significant factor in at least some of their wanderings.
- Ma and Pa Ingalls were complicated parents. Despite the poverty and constant moving, the Ingalls parents worked hard to provide some level of stability and happiness for their children.
- Nellie Oleson wasn't real. For readers of the later Little House books or fans of the 1970s television adaption of those same works, Nellie Oleson looms large as a spoiled bully.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder moved a lot during her early life. Born near Lake Pepin, Wisconsin, Laura Ingalls spent her childhood traveling around the Midwest with her family, with stops in Minnesota, Iowa, and Kansas, among other places.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder started her writing career as a columnist. In 1894, the Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm outside Mansfield, Missouri. Around 1911, when Wilder was in her forties, she started contributing articles to a farm journal called The Missouri Ruralist.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder visited the 1915 World’s Fair in San Francisco. In 1915, Wilder journeyed west to visit her daughter, who was working as a journalist in San Francisco.
- Laura Ingalls Wilder’s first book was rejected by publishers. Wilder was in her sixties by the time she began putting her early life on paper. Her memoir, Pioneer Girl, was generally geared toward adults and featured some surprisingly bleak stories—like the time Wilder's neighbors froze to death during a Minnesota blizzard.
Dec 15, 2014 · The Little House books, which start when Laura is two and end when she is 22, have sold millions of copies and been translated into almost 40 languages. The seven books document her roving...
