Laura Ingalls Wilder

The Ingalls family packs up their covered wagon and travels from the big woods of Wisconsin to a new home in Kansas Territory, where wide open land stretches as far as the eye can see. On the prairie, they build a house, meet neighboring Indians, build a well, and fight a prairie fire.

Laura and her family move to Minnesota where they live in a dugout until a new house is built and face misfortunes caused by flood, blizzard, and grasshoppers.

After an October blizzard, Laura's family moves from the claim shanty into town for the winter, a winter that a Native American has predicted will be seven months of bad weather.

Laura is growing up and in addition to working hard to earn money to help send Mary to a school for the blind, her social life is becoming more interesting and includes a blossoming friendship with Almanzo Wilder.

After Almanzo helps with the chores on his family's farm in the New York countryside, he joins his parents, brother, and sisters for dinner and a winter evening at home.
