More than eighty years after it was written, finally fans of the Little House books have an opportunity to read Laura Ingalls Wilder’s autobiography, on which the popular series was based. In a heavily annotated edition, with maps and appendices that enrich the text, here are her memories of her family and their pioneer life from 1869 to 1888 in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakota Territory.Essentially Laura’s factual personal history, Pioneer Girl was intended for adult readers. She had written for the St. Louis Star Farmer and the Missouri Ruralist, but that writing had generally been about farming and the rural lifestyle. After her parents and her older sister passed away, Laura began, at age 63, to devote herself to writing the family’s experiences in the raw American West. This she did in pencil in six tablets that are transcribed and lightly edited for this edition.
Pioneer Girl tells the story of Laura’s growing up years, from age two to eighteen. Taken by itself, without the annotations, it reads as a rough first draft, with all the immediacy that goes with getting memories down on paper quickly. It is fascinating to hear the Little House anecdotes told from an adult perspective, and to confirm the realities of pioneer life. Laura’s voice feels genuine, and the asides to her daughter make it clear that one of her goals was to preserve familiar stories that were part of the family’s legacy. The other object was to get the book published, in part because Laura had writing ambitions, but probably more because the Wilders desperately needed money, both parents and daughter having lost their savings in the economic collapse at the beginning of the Great Depression.
Where this book becomes complex is in the annotations.
