A tribute to Laura Ingalls Wilder. I made it because I love her life and family. Thanks for watching! Please subscribe to my channel!
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.
In March of 2014 we visited Mansfield MO to see Rocky Ridge Farm, that video may be viewed at: http://youtu.be/Xs-OfZ47xWY

On a dreary day in March of 2014 we took a road trip to Mansfield Missouri to visit the home of Laura Ingalls and Almanzo James Wilder. Laura called this place "Rocky Ridge Farm". The house and farm are open for visitors (for a fee of course), but for someone interested in LIW and the Little House series of books (and TV shows) it is worth the cost of admission.
Unfortunately the foundation which manages the property do not allow video or photography inside any of the buildings, so this video shows only the grounds.
We also visited the Rock House, where the Wilders lived from 1928 to 1936. At this location the tour guide talked to us outside of the house both before and after the formal tour. That discussion, which is included in this video, is quite interesting.
In July of 2013 we visited Peppin WI, Walnut Grove MN, and DeSmet SD, sites from Laura's child hood, and the sites of many of her books. The video of that visit may be seen at: http://youtu.be/bUXIY0T8CMU

Little House in the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder is a one-hour documentary that goes beyond the famed Little House book series to the behind-the-scenes, true life story of one of Americas most iconic authors, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Despite the fame and the popularity of her novels, Wilders personal story as a writer, wife and mother is a compelling narrative that has never been told...until now.

Laura Ingalls Wilder (/ˈɪŋɡəlz/; February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) was an American writer, most notably the author of the Little House series of children's novels based on her childhood in a pioneer family. Her daughter, Rose, encouraged her to write and helped her to edit and publish the novels.
A popular 1974–84 TV series, Little House on the Prairie, was loosely based on the Little House books, starring Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls and Melissa Gilbert as Laura, his daughter.
Laura was born on February 7, 1867, seven miles north of the village of Pepin in the Big Woods region of Wisconsin, to Charles Phillip Ingalls and Caroline Lake (Quiner) Ingalls. She was the second of five children, following Mary Amelia, who went blind in her teens.[a] Their three younger siblings were Caroline Celestia, Charles Frederick (who died in infancy), and Grace Pearl. Her birth site is commemorated by a replica log cabin, the Little House Wayside. Life there formed the basis for her first book, Little House in the Big Woods.
Laura was a descendant of the Delano family, relatives of the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose progenitor emigrated on the Mayflower in 1620, and of Edmund Rice, who emigrated in 1638 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. One paternal ancestor, Edmund Ingalls, was born on June 27, 1586, in Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, and emigrated to America, where he died in Lynn, Massachusetts, on September 16, 1648
Family on the move
The Ingalls family moved from the Big Woods of Wisconsin in the year 1869, before Laura was two years old. They stopped in Rothville, Missouri, and settled in Kansas, in Indian Country near what is now Independence. Her younger sister Carrie (1870–1946) was born there in August 1870, soon before they moved again. According to her, Charles had been told that the location would soon be open to white settlers but that was incorrect; their homestead was actually on the Osage Indian reservation and they had no legal right to occupy it. They had only just begun to farm when they were informed of their error, and they departed in 1871. Several neighbors stayed and fought eviction.
From Kansas they returned to Wisconsin where they lived for the next four years. Those experiences formed the basis for Little House on the Prairie and Little House in the Big Woods, although the fictional chronology does not match the fact: Laura was about one to three years old in Kansas and four to seven in Wisconsin; in the novels she is four to five in Wisconsin (Big Woods) and six to seven in Kansas (Prairie). According to a letter from Rose to biographer William Anderson, the publisher had her change her age in Prairie because it seemed unrealistic for a three-year-old to have memories so specific as her story of life in Kansas. To be consistent with her already established chronology, she made herself six to seven years old in Prairie and seven to nine years old in On the Banks of Plum Creek, the third volume of her fictionalized history, which takes place around 1874.
On the Banks of Plum Creek shows them moving from Kansas to an area near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, and settling in a dugout "on the banks of Plum Creek". They really lived there beginning in 1874 when Laura was about seven. That year Charles' restless spirit led them to Lake City, Minnesota, and then on to a preemption claim in Walnut Grove, where they lived for a time with relatives near South Troy, Minnesota. Laura's little brother, Freddie, was born there on November 1, 1875; he died only nine months later on August 27, 1876. They next moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, where they helped run a hotel. Laura's youngest sibling, Grace, was born there on May 23, 1877.
They moved from Burr Oak back to Walnut Grove, where Charles served as the town butcher and justice of the peace. He accepted a railroad job in the spring of 1879, which took him to eastern Dakota Territory where they joined him that fall. Laura did not write about 1876–1877 when they lived near Burr Oak, but skipped directly to Dakota Territory, portrayed in By the Shores of Silver Lake. Thus the fictional timeline caught up with her real life.

Quotes:
Nancy Oleson: You really do hate me, don't you?::Nels Oleson: YES!Charles Ingalls: The winter of '96 was a bad one. My family was used to nature's cold hand around Christmas. We had learned to survive her frozen fury. But that year, nature laid a warm cheek on Walnut Grove. The snow began to melt in the high Country even before it's white blanket touched the flat land. Steam rose from the rivers as the sun warmed the flowing waters. It would be an easy Christmas for my daughter and her family, or so she thought.
Isaiah Edwards: You think generosity is a crime.::Almanzo Wilder: When your generosity involves my money, it is a crime.
Almanzo Wilder: Why did I leave her? If I'd only stayed with her.::Laura Ingalls Wilder: It wasn't your fault.::Almanzo Wilder: Yes it is. Can't you see that?::Laura Ingalls Wilder: No I can't. Listen to me. It happened. And it wasn't anybody's fault. We are going to find her.
Laura Ingalls Wilder: Why did you leave her? I asked you to stay with her!::Almanzo Wilder: You know what happened.::Laura Ingalls Wilder: Oh yeah, I know. I know what happened. Isaiah had one of his stupid fights and you had to leave our baby to go and help him!
Isaiah Edwards: Now Montague, don't tell me you've got something against Christmas.::Sherwood Montague: Not Christmas, Edwards. Crass commerciality and sentimentalism masquerading as Christian love. The emphasis on gift giving is compromising our souls.

Jason Carter: Pa, there is something you could do.::John Carter: Name it.::Jason Carter: Well, I'd sure like it if you and Ma could make a younger child. Then it wouldn't be so bad if I have someone to pick on.::John Carter: Well Son, I'm gonna have to talk to your Ma about that.
Caroline Ingalls: Oh Charles, there's that old Oak tree you fell out of, remember?::Charles Ingalls: How could I forget? I fell out of it going after that silly kite!
Jason Carter: I hate to say this, Mr. Oleson, but your daughter is really strange!
Laura Ingalls Wilder: I don't understand any of you! No piece of land is worth losing your life over!::Charles Ingalls: You're right. You don't understand.
Charles Ingalls: I talked to Almanzo. He'd like to go back with us, till they get another homestead together. Poor boy cried like a baby.::Caroline Ingalls: He isn't the first one to have to leave and start all over. They'll make it. We did!::Charles Ingalls: That's right, we did.
Rev. Robert Alden: Dear Lord, We bury a friend today. This town has been our friend. It's made us a family. It's kept us together. Wherever we go in this world, we will always remember Walnut Grove. It'll always be home to us.
Laura Ingalls Wilder: There's something we can do! I got mad today. Really mad! And you know what I did? I busted some windows. Yeah, it may sound silly. Well, maybe it is. But they were our windows, and he's not gonna get them! He owns the land, well let him have it! But he's gonna have a lot of fixing up to do before he starts running our boarding house!::John Carter: Listen here! You wanta do more than bust a couple of windows? I've got a wagon at my place loaded to the gills with dynamite for the mine!
Little House: Look Back to Yesterday (1983)
Actors: Charles Cyphers (actor), Dabbs Greer (actor), Melora Hardin (actress), Jack Lilley (actor), Michael Landon (actor), Michael Landon (producer), Melissa Gilbert (actress), Henry Brandon (actor), Shannen Doherty (actress), James T. Callahan (actor), Richard Bull (actor), David Rose (composer), Lois Hall (actress), Victor Izay (actor), Cooper Huckabee (actor),
Plot: After production ended on the long-running "Little House on the Prairie" series, three made-for-TV movies helped wrap up the series. The first of these, "Look Back to Yesterday," depicts Albert's heroic battle with an ultimately fatal illness. Albert interviews at the University of Minnesota, where he plans to study medicine. Albert (unbeknownst to anyone else) suffers from unexplained nosebleeds and is always tired. His family later finds out about the nosebleeds, and a physician from Mankato informs Charles the symptoms point to a deadly form of leukemia, and that Albert has a short time to live. Albert adamantly states his wishes to live out what may be his final days in Walnut Grove; he falls in love with childhood friend Michelle Pierson (who also plans to attend the University of Minnesota to study education) and spends many of his hours with his beloved sister, Laura. Laura, however, is in denial that her brother will soon die, and wants her equally-beloved brother to rest. Albert gives an emotional speech about living each day to the fullest to his one-time classmates, who are organizing their annual trip to the Keepsake tree (which sits atop a steep incline and contains items donated by the alumnus of Walnut Grove School). Meanwhile, Walnut Grove has fallen on hard times because of a dispute between the farmers, who want to sell their crops, and the railroad. Charles helps organize an effort where the farmers work as sharecroppers, to help put an end to the dispute. The farmers are initially against the idea (only John Carter, Dr. Baker, Mr. Edwards and Nels Olesen are for Charles' idea at first), until Albert passionately tells of how he always admired the spirit of cooperation of Walnut Grove's farmers. Meanwhile, Jason Carter has a case of puppy love, and announces his intention to sneak a kiss from fellow classmate Amy Bryant.

Isaiah Edwards: Safe? Safe? How can you call him safe? He was out from me to you!::Rev. Robert Alden: Now Isaiah, this was a close decision. The Good Lord helped me make the right decision.::Isaiah Edwards: Well, that's wonderful, but the Good Lord wasn't leading by two runs! We were!::Rev. Robert Alden: Isaiah, this is Sunday! Let's not question Divine Guidance.::Isaiah Edwards: [Looking up into the heavens] Oh, if this had been Saturday, Willie would have been out!Charles Ingalls: You think I've got a chance?::Albert Ingalls: Hey, you're an Ingalls! Of course you've got a chance!
Jeb Carter: Jason, what are you looking at?::Jason Carter: I'm watching Mr. Reed give Miss Plum a kiss so I'll know how to do it right when I try it on Amy Bryant.::Amy Bryant: Jason Carter, I wouldn't kiss you even if you were the last boy on earth!
Jason Carter: You heard her! She wouldn't kiss me if I was the last boy on earth!::Jeb Carter: You believe that?::Jason Carter: You think she was lying?::Jeb Carter: Of course she was.::Jason Carter: Yeah...::Jeb Carter: Sure. All you gotta do now is wait for the rest of us to die.
Doctor Houser: Mr. Ingalls, Albert is a very sick young man. I'm afraid he has a blood disorder which is... well, it's causing him to lose strength.::Charles Ingalls: I see. How long? How long will the treatments take before we can get him back on his feet?::Doctor Houser: Mr. Ingalls, I'm sorry, but uh... Well, there is no treatment. Albert's not going to get any better - only worse.
Albert Ingalls: What's wrong with you people? What's happened to all of you?::Zack Taylor: Just who are you to ask that kind of question?::Albert Ingalls: My name's Albert Ingalls. The man who's trying to help you is my father.::Zack Taylor: Well, that don't make you something special. Go on back to the big city with your old man. We don't need no kid not grown telling us what for. Come back in ten years when you're a man!
Charles Ingalls: It may sound strange to you, Mr. Hall, but Albert wants to become a doctor so he can help people.
Isaiah Edwards: Zack Taylor, that boy that just walked out of here is more of a man than you'll ever be! And he cares a hell of a lot more about this town. Because he remembers it when it was a town full of friends and neighbors who really cared about each other - who were willing to work together no matter how tough it got. You told him to come back here when he's a man. Well you see, he can't do that... because he's dying. But he came back here, because of all the places in the world, this place... this town... is where he wanted to spend his last days. And you all think you got it tough. I'm just sorry he saw what happened to this town.
Sherwood Montague: Well, well Gentlemen, it sounds to me like we have the basis for a possible wager here.::Isaiah Edwards: Now you're talking there, Montey. You put up the money and I'll put up my snakeball.::Sherwood Montague: That's Mr. Montague. And I'd hardly call your snakeball a sound investment.

Famous quotes by Laura Ingalls Wilder:
"The wind was rising and wildly screaming. ... thousands of rabbits were running.... Snakes rippled across the yard. Prairie hens ran silently, their necks outstretched and their wings spread. Birds screamed in the screaming wind.... Great flames came roaring, flaring and twisting high. Twists of flame broke loose and came down on the wind to blaze up in the grasses far ahead of the roaring wall of fire. A red light came from the rolling black clouds of smoke overhead."
"If enough people think of a thing and work hard enough at it, I guess it's pretty nearly bound to happen, wind and weather permitting."
"The trouble with organizing a thing is that pretty soon folks get to paying more attention to the organization than to what they're organized for."
"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
"Once you begin being naughty, it is easier to go and on and on, and sooner or later something dreadful happens."
"It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all."
"Every job is good if you do your best and work hard. A man who works hard stinks only to the ones that have nothing to do but smell."
"Suffering passes, while love is eternal. That's a gift that you have received from God. Don't waste it."
"So they all went away from the little log house. The shutters were over the windows, so the little house could not see them go. It stayed there inside the log fence, behind the two big oak trees that in the summertime had made green roofs for Mary and Laura to play under."
"But in the east the sky was pale and through the gray woods came lanterns with wagons and horses, bringing Grandpa and Grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins."
"Pa did not like a country so old and worn out that the hunting was poor. He wanted to go west. For two years he had wanted to go west and take a homestead, but Ma did not want to leave the settled country."
"Far worst of all, the fever had settled in Mary's eyes, and Mary was blind."
"Her blue eyes were still beautiful, but they did not know what was before them, and Mary herself could never look through them again to tell Laura what she was thinking without saying a word."
"They drove a long way through the snowy woods, till they came to the town of Pepin. Mary and Laura had seen it once before, but it looked different now."
"Mary and Carrie and baby Grace and Ma had all had scarlet fever. The Nelsons across the creek had had it too, so there had been no one to help Pa and Laura."
"Home is the nicest word there is."
"There the wild animals wandered and fed as though they were in a pasture that stretched much farther than a man could see, and there were no settlers. Only Indians lived there."
"Everything from the little house was in the wagon, except the beds and tables and chairs. They did not need to take these, because Pa could always make new ones."
"The enormous lake stretched flat and smooth and white all the way to the edge of the gray sky. Wagon tracks went away across it, so far that you could not see where they went; they ended in nothing at all."

Visiting Laura Ingalls Wilder's Rocky Ridge Farm
On a dreary day in March of 2014 we took a road trip to Mansfield Missouri to visit the home of Laura Ingalls and Almanzo James Wilder. Laura called this place "Rocky Ridge Farm".

Laura Ingalls Wilder (/ˈɪŋɡəlz/; February 7, 1867 – February 10, 1957) was an American writer, most notably the author of the Little House series of children's novels based on her childhood in a pioneer family. Her daughter, Rose, encouraged her to write and helped her to edit and publish the novels.
A popular 1974–84 TV series, Little House on the Prairie, was loosely based on the Little House books, starring Michael Landon as Charles Ingalls and Melissa Gilbert as Laura, his daughter.
Laura was born on February 7, 1867, seven miles north of the village of Pepin in the Big Woods region of Wisconsin, to Charles Phillip Ingalls and Caroline Lake (Quiner) Ingalls. She was the second of five children, following Mary Amelia, who went blind in her teens.[a] Their three younger siblings were Caroline Celestia, Charles Frederick (who died in infancy), and Grace Pearl. Her birth site is commemorated by a replica log cabin, the Little House Wayside. Life there formed the basis for her first book, Little House in the Big Woods.
Laura was a descendant of the Delano family, relatives of the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose progenitor emigrated on the Mayflower in 1620, and of Edmund Rice, who emigrated in 1638 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony. One paternal ancestor, Edmund Ingalls, was born on June 27, 1586, in Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, and emigrated to America, where he died in Lynn, Massachusetts, on September 16, 1648
Family on the move
The Ingalls family moved from the Big Woods of Wisconsin in the year 1869, before Laura was two years old. They stopped in Rothville, Missouri, and settled in Kansas, in Indian Country near what is now Independence. Her younger sister Carrie (1870–1946) was born there in August 1870, soon before they moved again. According to her, Charles had been told that the location would soon be open to white settlers but that was incorrect; their homestead was actually on the Osage Indian reservation and they had no legal right to occupy it. They had only just begun to farm when they were informed of their error, and they departed in 1871. Several neighbors stayed and fought eviction.
From Kansas they returned to Wisconsin where they lived for the next four years. Those experiences formed the basis for Little House on the Prairie and Little House in the Big Woods, although the fictional chronology does not match the fact: Laura was about one to three years old in Kansas and four to seven in Wisconsin; in the novels she is four to five in Wisconsin (Big Woods) and six to seven in Kansas (Prairie). According to a letter from Rose to biographer William Anderson, the publisher had her change her age in Prairie because it seemed unrealistic for a three-year-old to have memories so specific as her story of life in Kansas. To be consistent with her already established chronology, she made herself six to seven years old in Prairie and seven to nine years old in On the Banks of Plum Creek, the third volume of her fictionalized history, which takes place around 1874.
On the Banks of Plum Creek shows them moving from Kansas to an area near Walnut Grove, Minnesota, and settling in a dugout "on the banks of Plum Creek". They really lived there beginning in 1874 when Laura was about seven. That year Charles' restless spirit led them to Lake City, Minnesota, and then on to a preemption claim in Walnut Grove, where they lived for a time with relatives near South Troy, Minnesota. Laura's little brother, Freddie, was born there on November 1, 1875; he died only nine months later on August 27, 1876. They next moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, where they helped run a hotel. Laura's youngest sibling, Grace, was born there on May 23, 1877.
They moved from Burr Oak back to Walnut Grove, where Charles served as the town butcher and justice of the peace. He accepted a railroad job in the spring of 1879, which took him to eastern Dakota Territory where they joined him that fall. Laura did not write about 1876–1877 when they lived near Burr Oak, but skipped directly to Dakota Territory, portrayed in By the Shores of Silver Lake. Thus the fictional timeline caught up with her real life.

Laura's little brother, Freddie, was born there on November 1, 1875; he died only nine months later on August 27, 1876. They next moved to Burr Oak, Iowa, where they helped run a hotel. Laura's youngest sibling, Grace, was born there on May 23, 1877.
They moved from Burr Oak back to Walnut Grove, where Charles served as the town butcher and justice of the peace. He accepted a railroad job in the spring of 1879, which took him to eastern Dakota Territory where they joined him that fall. Laura did not write about 1876–1877 when they lived near Burr Oak, but skipped directly to Dakota Territory, portrayed in By the Shores of Silver Lake. Thus the fictional timeline caught up with her real life.
