Product Description
Product Description
In 1894, Laura Ingalls Wider, her husband Almanzo, and their daughter, Rose, packed their belongings into their covered wagon and set out on a journey from De Smet, South Dakota, to Mansfield, Missouri. They heard that the soil there was rich and the crops were bountiful - it was even called "the Land of the Big Red Apple." With hopes of beginning a new life, the Wilders made their way to the Ozarks of Missouri.

Format:Paperback
Absolutely fascinating insight into Laura, Almanzo and Rose's journey to Mansfield, Missouri. It makes you realise how much the world has changed since those days especially in covering distances. A great follow on from The First Four Years which was so sad for the most part. The supplement at the end written by Rose gives a child's view of their life. You really feel for the family when they can't find the money to use as a down payment for the farm. A must for any fan.

Format:Paperback
i found the book very interesting especially with roses added back ground detail. i don,t know if was the way it was written but laura does,t come across as a very loving mother as you would expect as a adult. she seems a bit snappy towards rose , i felt a bit disappointed with the way she was portrayed in this particular book. other books(willaim anderson,s biography) describe her being alot softer as a person. the first ones laura actually wrote are always going to be the most enjoyable,nobody can write in the way she did ,to make each book so full of great stories and the history is better than any book i read at school.
Format:Paperback
This book was compiled by Rose Wilder Lane, Laura's daughter from notes discovered after Laura's death. Her daughter has retained all the"atmosphere" of the previous Little House Books and I enjoyed every page of it!
