Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that February 7 is the anniversary of the birth of the young woman who grew up on the western prairies American writer Laura Ingalls Wilder who is probably best known for the Little House on the Prairie series of children's books released from 1932 to 1943 which were based on her childhood in a settler and pioneer family.
My darling wife loves the Little House on the Prairie books and especially the movies.
Rest in peace Laura Ingalls Wilder!
Following the Trail of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little Houses. "On the 2nd weekend of July 2013, we followed the trail of Laura Ingalls, by visiting her birth place, The Little House in the Big Woods, at Pepin WI. Then we headed west to Walnut Grove MN, and the Dugout House on Plum Creek. Finally on to De Smet SD to the Little House on the Prairie, and the 160 acre homestead. We saw some American History, and had a nice camping experience."
This video is a very short, compared to the weekend, summary of where we went and what we saw.

I didn't read her series until I was an adult and found them to be delightful stories providing real insight into the life of frontier settlers.

The school house in De Smet is an interesting stop if you ever go- she is one of my wife's favorite history characters. So I have been there a few times. Simple life back then.
