Laura Ingalls Wilder was always a wonderful storyteller, and people felt she had taken them back in time with her stories. She was very patriotic and people got a sense of that from her writings. She was also thrifty, practical, a woman of faith but not without charm. In her 40s, during World War I, Laura was encouraged to write a newspaper column called "How A Farm Woman Thinks." It was so popular she was soon writing articles for newspapers and magazines all over the Ozark region. She wrote about life on a farm, the need to get behind the troops in WWI, and sometimes reminisced about her early life. At age 65, Laura wrote "Little House in the Big Woods." It describes one year in the Ingalls's life, before she and her family left Wisconsin for the prairies. The book is also loaded with Pa's lively stories he told Laura and sister Mary which excited them and which Laura never forgot. Readers came to the end of the book and asked, "and then what?" Sometimes they wrote Laura in person to ask this question! Their curiosity led to her writing "Little House on the Prairie," and she discovered she really enjoyed writing. Fan letters poured in, even from other countries. Over the next eleven years, Laura completed the last of the eight Little House books, "These Happy Golden Years." By this time, Laura was a widely respected children's author, whose fans flooded her with letters and sent her pictures. Adults named libraries and children's book awards after her. All of her family's homesites are now museums. The very popular TV series, "Little House on the Prairie" (1974-84) is very loosely based on Laura's life. Laura was very surprised at becoming so famous. She had planned on writing only the first book, "Little House in the Big Woods." She felt that Pa's stories were too good to lose, and that future generations should enjoy them. People felt they knew Laura -- some even showed up on her doorstep in Missouri -- and while her last Little House book was written more than 70 years ago, she and her books are as popular as they have ever been. 16-6-2014

Yes, The Ingalls family is still alive and well. I know this because I am a member of The Ingalls family by blood. My mother, Vickie (Ingalls) Xavier, is an Ingalls woman by blood and birth. I really wish people would stop telling the lies that my family is dead and gone from history. That's absolutely absurd and untrue. If it were true, I would not exist. While I am unable to have children, both of my sisters have children....one of my nephews has 2 of his own now..... My uncle, mom's brother, Larry Ingalls, is a grandfather and soon to be a great grandfather. So, as you see, and I have told you so, we, THE INGALLS FAMILY, are alive and well. Sean Hughes
