    Summary: 
    "Hidden away since it was finished in 1930, when the author was sixty-three years old, Laura Ingalls Wilder's never-before-published autobiography chronicles sixteen years of her pioneer youth. Wilder details the Ingalls family's journey from Kansas to Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, back to Minnesota, and on to Dakota Territory -- sixteen years of travels, unforgettable stories, and the everyday people who became immortal through her fiction. Using additional manuscripts, diaries, and letters, this book builds on Wilder's work by adding valuable context and explores her growth as a writer. Editor Pamela Smith Hill offers new insights into Wilder's life and times. Hill illuminates Wilder's writing career and the dynamic relationship between the budding novelist and her daughter and editor, Rose Wilder Lane. Sharing the story of Wilder's original manuscript, Hill discusses the catalysts for Pioneer Girl and the process through which Wilder's story turned from an unpublished memoir into the national phenomenon of the Little House series. This book also explores the history of the frontier that the Ingalls family traversed and the culture and life of the communities Wilder lived in. It contains one hundred and twenty-five images, eight fully researched maps, and hundreds of annotations based on numerous primary sources, including census data, county, state, and federal records, and newspapers of the period. Although her autobiography was never accepted for publication, Wilder eventually fictionalized many of the incidents described here in her classics Little House in the Big Woods, Farmer Boy, Little House on the Prairie, On the Banks of Plum Creek, By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, These Happy Golden Years, and The First Four Years"--Provided by publisher.
