About the author: Laura Ingalls Wilder was born in 1867 in the log cabin described in Little House in The Big Woods. As her classic Little House books tell us, she and her husband, Almanzo Wilder, made their own covered-wagon trip with their daughter, Rose, to Mansfield, Missouri. There Laura wrote her story in the Little House books and lived until she was ninety years old. For millions of readers, however, she lives forever as the little pioneer girl in the beloved Little House books.
