The Days of Laura Ingalls Wilder

Thomas L. Tedrow

In 1884, Laura Ingalls Wilder, her husband Manly, and their young daughter Rose leave South Dakota behind to seek a fresh start in the Missouri Ozarks. As they build a homestead near Mansfield, Laura’s determination and gift for expressing her opinions draw her into a tense conflict with a powerful local timberman. Set against the challenges of frontier life, the story explores family, resilience, community, and the courage to stand up for one’s beliefs.
