About the Author
Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was born in a log cabin in the Wisconsin woods. With her family, she pioneered throughout America’s heartland during the 1870s and 1880s, finally settling in Dakota Territory. She married Almanzo Wilder in 1885; their only daughter, Rose, was born the following year. The Wilders moved to Rocky Ridge Farm at Mansfield, Missouri, in 1894, where they established a permanent home. After years of farming, Laura wrote the first of her beloved Little House books in 1932. The nine Little House books are international classics. Her writings live on into the twenty-first century as America’s quintessential pioneer story.

About the author
Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in the Wisconsin woods in 1867. She wrote the Little House books based on her own experiences growing up on the Western frontier. Just like the characters in her stories, Laura and her family traveled by covered wagon across the Midwest and experienced many of the same adventures. She finally settled down in Mansfield, Missouri with her husband, Almanzo, where she lived until her death in 1957.

However, while I realize that this is a great book that sends the reader back in time, it could have benefited from some serious editing. There are so many digressions into extremely detailed subjects that most kids (or adults for that matter) cannot hold a real interest in. In fact, it sometimes reads as a historical account or a technical manual rather than a work of fiction. I am sure these details were extremely important to the author but they are hard to get through as a reader. I was surprised to feel this way since I remember loving these stories as a child. Perhaps I skimmed those parts...
I do realize that this type of writing was more acceptable back when this was originally published. I also realize that these details lend the story an honesty and accuracy that many stories lack. Plus this type of detail is useful for collective memory. However, if you are planning to buy this book to read to your child out loud be prepared to skip over these parts or fumble through an in-depth account of wagon axles and other similar technical details that drone on for several pages at a time.
I still feel that the main story has a lot to offer but wanted to warn others about my experience who, like me, many have forgotten the content of the story and only have an idealized memory of this book. There aren't a lot of balanced reviews about this book so I wanted to be a voice on here.
Even though this is technically book 3, you can read this one first without having any problems missing any back story.
This is a real story of a family who went to settle out west and all the challenges they met along the way.
