9、ily only lived there for about a year.They had mistakenly settled on the Osage Indian reservation,and they had to leave,so they returned to Wisconsin.Four-year-old Laura watched sadly as the Kansas prairie disappeared behind their covered wagon.She was too young to remember living in Wisconsin as a
10、baby.When they returned,though,Laura discovered a wonderful new world.The big woods were dark,wild,and mysterious.Laura loved being outdoors,and on long winter evenings,Pa played his fiddle for the family.His music accompanied the happiest days of Lauras childhood.Ma(Caroline)and Pa(Charles)IngallsL
11、aura Ingalls Wilder:A Pioneers Life Level V78Hard TimesPa Ingalls longed to return to the open space of the prairies.He made plans to move his young family to Minnesota.Before they left,seven-year-old Laura came down with a bad fever.The family bundled her in every blanket they owned before nestling
12、 her in the back of the covered wagon.Laura watched another home disappear behind her.In Minnesota,Laura and Pa were happy to be back on the wide-open prairie.First,they moved into a house made of prairie sod,the dense grass that grew all around them.From a distance,the house appeared to be nothing
13、more than a gentle hill rising from the banks of a creek.Later,Pa constructed a wood house and planted wheat near the town of Walnut Grove.Laura and Mary went to school,where Laura loved reading,writing,and reciting.Ma was expecting another baby.After a few months of happiness,hardship struck.Grassh
14、oppers,arriving in swarms as big as thunderclouds,ate all the familys wheat.Having lost their crop,the family moved into Walnut Grove and took odd jobs.Even little Laura cleaned and waited tables in a hotel.Then they lost their new baby brother,Freddie,to a fever.Their spirits lifted a little when a
15、nother baby,Grace,arrived in 1877,but times remained tough.Mary fell ill.Either the illness or a stroke damaged the nerves of her eyes.No one knows for sure what caused the damage,but Mary would be blind for the rest of her life.Pa decided it was time to look west for a new start.He went ahead to Da

17、Laura Ingalls WilderLaura Ingalls Wilder:A Pioneers Life Level V910Settling in Dakota TerritoryIn Dakota Territory there was just a railroad stop,not yet a town.The Ingalls family and a few others were the first citizens of what would become the town of De Smet,South Dakota.As more settlers arrived,
18、the Ingalls family acquired a homestead a few miles outside of town.Pa built a cabin,a stable,and a garden.As winter approached,the family decided to live above their store in town,where the girls would be closer to the school.It was a lucky decision.One blizzard after another hammered the new town.
19、The snow was so blinding that the girls couldnt find their way to school.Trains couldnt deliver food,and some families nearly starved.Laura and her sisters spent hours grinding raw wheat into flour by hand.At last the long winter broke,and the family returned to their homestead on the blooming Dakot
20、a prairie.Their farm,and the new town,soon thrived.When the railroad arrived in an area such as Helena,Montana(above,in 1869),towns could spring up seemingly overnight.Settlers poured in and quickly built houses,stores,hotels,and saloons.Laura Ingalls Wilder:A Pioneers Life Level V1112Young Lady Lau

22、ely said goodbye to her family,but she dreaded being away from home for an entire semester.When the first week of school ended,she got a surprise.Almanzo Wilder,a young homesteader she knew from De Smet,pulled up to the schoolhouse in a beautiful horse-drawn sleigh.He offered to bring Laura home on
23、weekends.During their long drives across the prairie,their friendship blossomed into love.One night,Almanzo asked Laura to marry him.She said yes.Laura and Manly,as she nicknamed him,moved to his homestead outside De Smet.Soon they welcomed a daughter,Rose.Unfortunately,the young family was hit with
24、 a string of bad luck.A hailstorm destroyed their wheat crop,and then Laura and Manly fell ill.Laura recovered fully,but Manly would walk with a limp for the rest of his life.Laura gave birth to a baby boy,but he only survived for two weeks.Then their house burned to the ground.Still a pioneer girl,
25、Laura searched for a new place where they could get a fresh start.It wasnt long before she found her home.Laura and Almanzo Wilder in 1885,shortly after their marriage“Suffering passes,while love is eternal.”Laura Ingalls WilderLaura Ingalls Wilder:A Pioneers Life Level V1314Happiness at Rocky Ridge
26、At twenty-seven,Laura set out once more in a covered wagon.She and Manly bought a small farm near Mansfield,Missouri,in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains.It was rough,wooded,and rocky,but Laura instantly knew it was home.With hard work,Rocky Ridge grew into a beautiful,successful farm.After so mu
27、ch wandering,Laura was content.In time,Lauras daughter,Rose,moved away to San Francisco.There she became a well-known journalist,making a living at something Laura herself had always lovedwriting.Now that life on Rocky Ridge Farm was comfortable,could Laura do the same?The Little House BooksLaura be
28、gan to pour her memories onto the page.Sometimes she would stay up all night writing at a little desk that Manly built for her.Soon,she had written an entire book about her early years under the towering trees of Wisconsin.She called it Little House in the Big Woods.Rose sent it to a publisher.Sixty
29、-four-year-old Laura didnt think much would come of it.After all,it was the 1930s.People had cars,electricity,radiowho wanted to hear about doing backbreaking chores in a dark forest?The book was an immediate hit.Laura brought to life the howling winter wind,the crackling fire,and the joyful skip of
30、 Pas fiddle.She captured the thrill of meeting animals in the wilderness.She called up the joy that a simple rag doll could bring to a pioneer girl who lived in a rough log cabin.The mailbox at Rocky Ridge overflowed with letters from young readers begging for more.Laura wrote about her time on the
31、Kansas prairie in Little House on the Prairie and near Walnut Grove in On the Banks of Plum Creek.The frightful winter in De Smet became The Long Winter,and the towns recovery became Little Town on the Prairie.Rocky Ridge Farm was so successful that a local newspaper asked Laura to write a column of
