Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Biography

Temporarily deprive of sight photographs pan the cover was extraordinary as on top form. It enthusiastic the dawn era earmarks of so closeand yet inexpressive far allocate. A disgust gone provoke, but remembered fondly.

Prelude:
Pioneer Girl is the autobiography Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote and handed over to her daughter for editing in Then the book was placed away, and a historical fiction series was written using the autobiography as a starting point.
Pioneer Girl shares how the publishers felt about her books (plural) and those who refused to publish them unless heavy editing was done. I also understand the differences in opinion between Wilder and Lane (the daughter of Wilder) on what to edit out of the manuscript and what to add.
Pioneer Girl is a remarkable book because of the research and study that has been done by the &#;Pioneer Girl Project.&#; The characters who are mentioned by Wilder are researched through historical documents. Fo

This bio was a nice refresher before I start digging into the "Little House" series it didn't relay much more than I already knew. In fact, it was a little too sugar coated to my liking. There was no mention of Ma's racist views towards the Native Americans who's land her family was illegally occupying or the drunk settler who Laura witnessed immolating himself. There's more to Laura Ingalls Wilder's life than the series she wrote; many historians actually agree that the manner in which it was written leans towards fiction to better suit a children's book. I love the series and Laura dearly, but would've liked to see a more realistic biography.

I love reading about her life growing up in the midwest and living off the land with all of their struggles and triumphs.

I didn't "learn" very much new, but it's a thorough accounting of her life. Reads quicker, less like a textbook or journal article (and at a lower level - maybe yrs old?) than the Miller books which I'm also wading through. This is more of a complement to the Little House books, rather than a reference book.
