| Summary |
In 1894 Laura Ingalls Wilder, her husband, and her seven-year-old daughter Rose leave the Ingalls family in Dakota and make the long and difficult journey to Missouri to start a new life. From the time of the first publication of the Little House books in the 1930's and 40's, millions of readers have grown up with Laura In galls and her sisters as Pa led the family from the Big Woods of Wisconsin across the plains and Indian country to South Dakota. There Laura marries Almanzo Wilder, and after years of drought and fire destroy their farm, the Wilders must now look for a new future. When Rose Wilder is seven years old, she and her mama - Laura - and her papa - Almanzo - set off on a journey that will take them across a landscape Laura hasn't seen since she traveled it as a child: back through the Dakota territory, Nebraska, and Kansas and finally to Missouri, the land of the Big Red Apple. |
