33. Laura Ingalls Wilder - Welcome Information about laura ingalls wilder, books about her life and links to the places she wrote about. http://lauraingallswilder.com/

Laura Ingalls Wilder Author of the "Little House" Books When LAURA INGALLS WILDER started writing her classic "Little House" book series in 1932, she had no idea of creating fame for herself or the places where she had lived. She wrote simply to preserve tales of a lost era in American history, the pioneer period she vividly recalled from her growing-up years on the midwestern frontier in the 1870's and 1880's. When Laura completed her eight-volume series in 1943, she had achieved a lasting and substantial literary picture of pioneer life as she had experienced it in Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota. "I had no idea I was writing history," Laura remarked when her books were well known both in America and in foreign countries where they were translated. (The books are now printed in over 40 languages.) But readers of all ages accepted the Ingalls and Wilder families as chosen friends. Thousands wrote to Laura at her home on Rocky Ridge Farm in Mansfield, Missouri. Fans sought out the sites of her books and stopped to visit her in her Ozark Mountain home, right up to her death in 1957 at the age of 90. The visiting still goes on. Immediately after Laura's death, the home she and her husband Almanzo built was preserved and opened for readers. In De Smet, South Dakota, a Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society was founded to offer history and hospitality to increasing numbers of summer tourists. Through the years, each of the book sites has joined the ranks of literary-historical spots dedicated to the pioneering spirit and writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Pepin, Wisconsin See more pictures here. Past: Laura Elizabeth Ingalls was born in a log cabin seven miles north of Pepin, Wisconsin , on February 7, 1867. Her first book, Little House in the Big Woods is about her childhood years here in the Big Woods of Wisconsin. This book is full of the stories Pa told Laura when she was a little girl, as well as the family's way of life. She describes a butchering, smoking of venison, food preparation, the making of bullets, hunting, and weaving hats of straw, activities that most children today are unfamiliar with. She tells of the Christmas where she got her beloved rag doll Charlotte, and of playing with cousins, and making molasses-on-snow candy. She also tells of going to town for the first time and picking up pebbles with her sister Mary along Lake Pepin. Although Laura writes in On the Banks of Plum Creek that she and Mary began school for the first time in Walnut Grove, they actually attended the Barry Corner School near Pepin for a short time, with Anna Barry as their teacher. The Ingalls family left Pepin in 1868 and went to Missouri, and then Kansas, before returning to Pepin in late 1870. The family left Pepin for good in 1874 and moved to

Almanzo & Laura Ingalls Wilder's Relatives Family tree and a discussion of the discrepancies between census records and the stories recorded Category Arts Literature Authors W wilder, laura ingalls......Research into historical documentation of the life of laura ingalls wilder hasbeen a hobby (my husband would call it a passion ) of mine for many years. http://members.tripod.com/~PennyN/

Research into historical documentation of the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder has been a hobby (my husband would call it a "passion") of mine for many years. While doing genealogical research on my own family at the National Archives, I was unexpectedly led to an 1880 Federal Census page from the Dakota Territory (later to become North and South Dakota) and was startled to find the family of Charles and Caroline Ingalls among the names listed before me. Up to that time, I had not read Laura's books and rarely watched TV's "Little House on the Prairie." Until this historical "revelation," I had not realized that the Ingalls were real people. My intrigue with this fact took me back to my local library where I consumed all nine of Laura's juvenile "fiction" in short order. Inspired by her clear portrait of pioneer life, I began looking for biographical information about the author of these captivating stories of American history. Unlike today - when there are literally dozens of biographies about Laura Ingalls Wilder - very little information was available at that time. So, I decided to start my search for facts about the Ingalls and Wilder families in the documents that had "gotten me hooked" in the first place - census records. Upon inspection of the census pages, I suddenly realized that there were several discrepancies between data found there and what Laura had written in her books. For example: The 1880 census gave Carrie's birthplace as Kansas, but she appears as "baby Carrie" in Laura's first book, "Little House in the Big Woods," which is set in Wisconsin and takes place *before* the Ingalls moved to Kansas (the setting of Laura's third book, "Little House on the Prairie"). Similarly, the 1860 census for Malone, New York, (when Almanzo was only a year old) mentions a "Laura A. Wilder - age 16. There was no mention of a *sister* named Laura in "Farmer Boy" - Laura Ingalls Wilder's biography of a year of her husband's life as a child in upstate New York.

The award, a bronze medal, honors an author or illustrator whose books, published in the United States, have made, over a period of years, a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children. 2003 Recipient of the Wilder Award Eric Carle , best known for his picture books for young children, is the 2003 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award winner. His numerous picture books include “The Very Hungry Caterpillar,” “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?” “Do You Want to Be My Friend?” “The Tiny Seed,” “From Head to Toe,” and “‘Slowly, Slowly, Slowly,’ said the Sloth.” “Eric Carle’s visual observations of the natural world encourage the imagination and often mirror the larger changes in a young child’s development and experience,” said Wilder Award Committee Chair Ginny Moore Kruse, former director of the Cooperative Children’s Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin - Madison. “His keen knowledge and genuine appreciation of nature undergird his vivid, often humorous, artwork, providing a deeply satisfying complexity.” Born in Syracuse, N.Y., in 1929, Carle moved with his parents to Germany in 1935. He came back to the United States in 1952, first working as a graphic designer for the

Go Directly to FACT SHEET Contact: Public Information Office pio@ala.org Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal The Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal, established in 1954, honors an author or illustrator whose books are published in the U.S. and have, over a period of years, made a substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children. The award, administered by the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC), was given every five years between 1960 and 1980. It is now given every three years. The award is named in honor of Laura Ingalls Wilder who was born in 1867 in Wisconsin. She became an elementary school teacher, married and moved to Mansfield, Mo., in 1894, where she lived until her death at age 90. Wilder's first book," The Little House in the Big Woods," (1932) was published when she was 65. It began the story of 5 year-old Laura and her family in the Wisconsin woods. Her other publications include "Farmer Boy," (1933) "Little House on the Prairie," (1935) "On the Banks of Plum Creek," (1937) "By the Shores of Silver Lake," (1939) "Little Town on the Prairie" (1939) and "These Happy Golden Years" (1945). Wilder wrote about home and the family primarily to entertain. She was interested in providing her young readers with information on how life was lived by their ancestors. Wilder's books were not about the country's leaders; they were about the country's people.
