Where did Laura ingalls live during her early adulthood?

Answer 1

Laura lived in the Big Woods' of Wisconsin for the first two years of her life. The family then moved to Chariton County Missouri very briefly, then to Indian Territory in Kansas. When Laura was four, they moved again to the Big Woods, then to Walnut Grove (Plum Creek), Minnesota when she was seven. Two years later, they relocated to Burr Oak, Iowa for a further two years. The chronology in the books differs to the real sequence of events.

Answer 2

The greatest portion of where Laura Ingalls Wilder's life was spent was the most largely undocumented part.......her many years spent in Missouri. When Laura died, one-half of American history was inside her head, but in her books, she mostly wanted to pass on what it had been like growing up as a "pioneer girl" (her original preferred title for her books) on the American Frontier, as well as the love, cheerfulness, and ethic she was raised with. By the time Laura and Almanzo settled in Missouri, that part of her life was over, and the 20th century had begun. The transitional point - and full stop - in her books is "The First Four Years", which she herself elected to do nothing with, as she knew it was not a children's book (it is much more adult in tone), and she evidently decided to "not go there" after she had written it. Rose also elected to "leave it be". Rose's heir, Roger Lea MacBride decided of his own volition to publish it.

Answer 3

Laura Ingalls Wilder lived in De Smet, South Dakota during her early adulthood, where she settled with her husband Almanzo Wilder. This is where she wrote about her childhood experiences in the Little House book series.
