Millions of readers of Little House on the Prairie believe they know Laura Ingalls-the pioneer girl who survived blizzards and near-starvation on the Great Plains, and the woman who wrote the famous autobiographical books. But the true story of her life has never been fully told. Now, drawing on unpublished manuscripts, letters, diaries, and land and financial records, Caroline Fraser-the editor of the Library of America edition of the Little House series-masterfully fills in the gaps in Wilder's biography, setting the record straight regarding charges of ghostwriting that have swirled around the books and uncovering the grown-up story behind the most influential childhood epic of pioneer life. Set against nearly a century of epochal change, from the Homestead Act and the Indian Wars to the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression, Wilder's dramatic life provides a unique perspective on American history and our national mythology of self-reliance. Offering fresh insight and new discoveries about Wilder's life and times, Prairie Fires is the definitive book about Wilder and her world. 650 4 $a Books on compact disc, Unabridged. 600 10 $a Wilder, Laura Ingalls, $d 1867-1957. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women pioneers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Frontier and pioneer life $z United States. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Moore, Christina, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Recorded Books, Inc. 941 $a 3 945 $a cdab 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20180801010555.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20180227010953.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20180223032726.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A88BBCD2187B11E8BF71915697128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
