Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. This book does a great job of letting us know Laura Ingalls Wilder during the period after her childhood through her maturing into becoming a classic historian.
Yes, I realize most do not think of Laura Ingalls as an historian, but, if you read this book and then go into her classic Little House books you will find such great insight not only into how people lived, but how they dealt with adversity so that they could pass on to their children the vital lessons that, in turn, would be passed on to you and me by the greatest generation. You also will get a hint of rural life and conservative moral lifestyles of the good people of Missouri. I heartily encourage everyone to read this book today-C.

It is the interviews with neighbors who knew Laura and Almanzo which are especially helpful. The portrait that emerges of Almanzo is a witty, funny, fun person to be around, even though his one foot was crippled and he walked with a cane. Laura comes across as a prim, proper, and refined old lady in velvet, always wearing a hat, even when it was no longer in style.
They clearly loved one another very much.
In some ways, this book is not the right time period for me to be reading right now. But I needed to read the book so it could be returned to the library, so this week I got it done.
