Laura Ingalls Wilder (February 7, 1867February 10, 1957) was an American author. She authored the series of historical fiction books for children based on her childhood in a pioneer family. The most well-known of her books is Little House on the Prairie.

Early life and marriage


Laura Elizabeth Ingalls Wilder was born in Pepin, Wisconsin to parents Charles Phillip and Caroline Lake (Quiner) Ingalls. Charles' paternal grandmother was Margaret Delano, of the famed Delano family, and was a descendant of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren. Laura was the second of their five children: Mary, who later in her life became blind, Laura, Caroline, whom they called Carrie, Freddy, who died at nine months old, and Grace. Many details of Laura's family life through adolescence are chronicled in her semi-autobiographical "Little House" book series. She and her family moved extensively throughout the Midwestern United States during her childhood. Although she was a bright student, her education was rather sporadic, a result of her family often living in isolated areas where schools were not yet established, or the family's finances resulting in Laura interrupting her schooling to earn money. The family eventually settled in De Smet, Dakota Territory, where she attended school more regularly and worked as a seamstress and teacher. Laura ended her teaching career in 1885 when she married homesteader Almanzo Wilder (18571949). At that time, married women were not permitted to teach. She had two children: the novelist, journalist and political theorist Rose Wilder Lane (18861968), and an unnamed son, who died soon after birth in 1889.
