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. #C217 Ensemble includes simple printed calico dress with short puffed sleeves and trimmed hem, white muslin sleeved petticoat with gathered neckline, white muslin trimmed pantaloons, white muslin apron and coordinating bonnet.
