A Little House Traveler Writings from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Journeys Across America

This collection of journal entries and letters from Laura Ingalls Wilder's travels across the country provides a fascinating glimpse into life and travel in the early twentieth century. Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of the beloved Little House series, crossed the country by covered wagon, by train, and by car, and this volume collects her writings from three of her most memorable journeys. 'On the Way Home' recounts her 1894 move with her daughter, Rose, and her husband, Almanzo, from South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri. 'West From Home' features letters written to Almanzo during her 1915 trip to visit Rose in San Francisco. Finally, 'The Road Back' tells the story of Laura and Almanzo's first trip back to De Smet in 1931, the town where Laura grew up and fell in love. Throughout these writings, Laura's candid sense of humor and keen eye for observation shine as she describes the many places she called home.
