I discovered the stories when I had children in the late 70s and 80s. Surprisingly in my literary family, I had never heard of these books. We wore out an entire set of matching paperbacks because of the constant re-reading and our own traveling family journies. I am just a few years older than you are and I still love these books. ( I am not a fan of the actor that plays "Pa' Because of his personal life, however, he does "play" his role to great effect.)
I'm related to the Ingalls clan. Laura's my cousin. Some of the Ingalls family live near me. The tv show is so loosely based on their lives, its mostly fictional. If you want the real story, read the books.
I'm not family, but I was really pissed as a kid that the show was so unlike the books. The early episides were pretty realistic without the cutesy music and overacting. It was stark and realistic. I loved it, before it became all about Michael Landon.
I don't think the show could have run as long as it did, without their creative license taking place in some ways. ( Just not some of the ways that it actually DID go.)
I agree with you because I'm a big fan of Laura Ingles. I studied on her. I read her books. I still have her biography book and I really learned more. The truth about Laura Ingles. So you're very right about the show, and they do have the years wrong.
Those books are what truly started my love for reading as a child. I read every single one at my elementary school library and can still remember my excitement when I found the bigger chapter books at the local public library. I enjoyed watching the show with my grandmother too.
Me too😂! I absolutely would say they(LIW books) opened up the door to that whole immersion into the universe of a book series, that you get whenyou start a good long book, orseries of novels...I just love that feeling. Like meeting old friends, but much less stressful!
@@didntknoicouldchangethis haha That is so very true. Books are the best way to just get away on your own. There's nothing like a book and a stern gaze to get people to stop pestering you. 😊
There shouldn’t be any controversy at all. These were books written by a woman who lived it. No one can criticize her perspective of things because they weren’t there. They have no knowledge as to how things generally were and what peoples mind sets were. If you’re criticizing anything like what Laura wrote, you completely ignorant .
It doesn't matter what she thought, the books show the mindset of the day, what she experienced, and how she perceived it. I am sure if some of the Indigenous people back then wrote books the other races would not come off looking that great either. That is fine because that is what they experienced and perceived. I am definitely not happy with how women were treated back then but that is how things were so that is how it was recorded as being.
@@timefooleryI concur. I think this takes away from the impact that her books had on children, esp little girls. I loved reading her books and it focused on the reslience of her and her family and I wonder how we would be judged in a 100 yrs by our thoughts and perspectives.
I read this series several times while they were growing up. My youngest son read this series so many times that I replaced them at least 3 times. They were such a staple in the evening hours before bedtime.
if you visit the Laura Ingles museum in Mo, you ll be told how the Wilder couple were not hsppy in the new house Rose had built for them and soon moved back to the house they had built....both Laura and her husband were very small people. The house they built was built to accommodate their petite sizes.
Their daughter Rose, bought the Sears catalogue kit for the stone house just down the road from the original house. Rose was a very accomplished writer and edited the "Little House" series.
People saying nothing was tragic. I'm wondering what their definition of tragic is. Losing a child is tragic! I have never lost a child, and can't even fathom that. Having a husband fall ill and be partially paralyzed is awful! I do have a husband who has been quite ill for 10 years. The mental and emotional toll it takes on your kids, let alone the two of you, is heartbreaking. I've never had my home burn down, but I know others who have, and it's quite devastating. Everything besides the clothes on your back, GONE! You have no HOME! Being displaced for 4 years would suck, imo. A barn fire, burning up all the hay and grain stored in it. That is a HUGE hit for already struggling farmers who have also gone through years of drought. Living through the depression was absolutely no picnic for most people; and the Wilder's were no exception; and lost money. Heck, I freak out when I've misplaced 50 bucks! Lol. Maybe to some, the title of this video would have been more palatable if it was "The Hardships of Laura and Almanzo Wilder", although they DID face tragedies I hope I never encounter.
I find myself tearing up watching the last years of LIW. Hers were the only books I ever read as a young girl. I was a tomboy and I felt like I WAS her. It was kind of like having myself as a best friend growing up. Same with the tv show. I think I'm going to rebuy them and read them again now. Thanks for the video.
I enjoyed the content in here, but God the narration of AI is awful. Just get a real human to read the content so that inflection is in the appropriate places and it doesn’t feel like a drone is reading to me. I’m so over AI generated content.

@@tessmoore3762 again, people are scared to be their selves for many reasons. Trying to get your paycheck without being outed is a reality. Imagine if the person has a disability, or a language barrier. If you can do it to your standards, stop listening and research and narrate your own perfect work.
For a couple who really planned and prepared for several years before getting married, they really had four or more really heart breaking years right off the bat. Unlike so many their peers at the time, the couple actually dated similar to modern day, meaning it was just the two of them together and they got time to talk and get to know each other over several years, as he drove her back and forth from teaching assignments. They also both worked and saved for several years, he building a beautiful house for them and she saving up and creating a modest downery. They didn''t have much money, but what what they did have they spent on their future rather than a ceremony, dress or reception. The only thing they did a little rash when they found out his sister was on her way back west to plan a large wedding for them they couldn't afford, was move up the date a couple of days and only take one friend each and no family to find a nearby preacher to marry them before his sister arrived.
Yes, Rose Wilder was the editor and the "push" behind the Little House books,, finally getting them published because she knew the editors in New York. Laura remembered all the details of prairie life and Rose polished the writings.
@@Lavender0646they said that. Or they made it clear that Rose was an integral part in these books, even sharing in writing them. I got the point so I'm sure most everyone else did.
These comments are full of rude, insulting, disrespectful people. I would rather have lived in Laura’s day when they knew how to treat people better. I ‘m really trying to stay out of comment sections for this very reason.
Anything with Michael Landon is good enough for me. The actual Lara Ingles reminds me of another famous Woman, Willa Cather. We have a Library in OMAHA and it's the Willa Cather LIBRARY ON CENTER STREET OMAHA NEBRASKA . SO MUCH CAN BE LEARNED FROM THE FAMOUS WOMEN IN HISTORY. ❤
I don’t think the clips of the show were bad. They are using the clips from Little House, to compare what was real and was not. I do not think, that Laura,s life was all that tragic. First off she chose to marry Almanzo, no one forced her to. As for the plagues and the crops being ruined, and the house burning down, so what? All marriages have problems. What marriage doesn’t. She married Almanzo, no one forced her, she loved Almanzo otherwise she wouldn’t have married him, and had Rose, and her baby son.
My mother has had the whole collection of her books since I can remember. So that was how I was first introduced to Laura Ingall’s Wilder. Then in my 4th grade class, we had to read Little House at some point. My teacher had us do journals from one character’s POV and then make a facial portrait of them using an empty soup can. I chose Laura and remember that my teacher was the only one who chose Ma.

I see that I missed the last of the Little House series so will have to catch up. I read the Little House books probably a thousand times each. Thank you for this enlightenment .
I started listening out of genuine interest , but with All the Errors, I wonder what ever happened to Proof -reading ? I HAD to quit watching. Generations yet to come are going to think we were idiots!
Unfortunately, this is AI. It sounds like it took a bunch of various elementary school reports and read them aloud with the AI voice back-to-back, repeating the same information with different words.
I also just noticed that the year of her daughter Rose's birth, 1886, is listed as incorrectly as "1986". I don't know if there is a way for you to correct that or not? I'm not trying to be nitpicky, I'm just trying to help :)
I read the series, starting in 3rd grade. I was a military brat, moving a lot, so I sort of related to Laura’s life. I had finished the series by the time the TV show came out. I was always disappointed in the TV show 😂. Looking forward to reading Pioneer Girl. I also recommend Little House in the Ozarks to explore how she started and grew as a writer.
Right? I'm having a hard time figuring out if there was resilience, enduring spirit, testament, transformation and enduring familial love. I just don't know. Wish the narrator would have mentioned them.😂
I moved many times starting at the age of 4. Moving so often is hard...you end up leaving so many loved things behind over and over. I lost a child, miscarried my first, it's something you never really get over. My husband was very ill most of our married life...simple things like this leave a mark on your life.To say their life wasnt hard, or the books not well written is just plain mean. I loved each and every one. As well as the TV series watched with my many nieces
“Around 1990, they sold their townhouse and shifted their focus to the farm.” Not sure what “townhouse”, maybe they’d had a condo in a senior living neighborhood when they lived in Florida - for them, a very, very, very senior living…
Editing is your friend, as you mention Laura and Rose did in the video. This would be better as ~8-10 minutes instead of 32+: then you wouldn't be repeating video clips, adding unrealated clips and repeating & resummerizing info 2-5 or more times. Also strange you're the only source for saying her name was LES and her mother's maiden name was different, too, as well as other info I can't confirm, or is contradicted elsewhere? Very tedeous to watch for a couple tidbits of info I can't be sure is true.
I learned my Morals, Values and Principles by watching Little House and the Waltons. I watched from the very first episode and practically know every word by heart. Laura was the same age as I was when the first episode came out. I pretended to be Laura as a child. I'm looking 60 years old in the face this year. The books were required reading for Military (Department of Defense DOD school.) Hollywood took liberties with Laura's journeys. My understanding is Laura's spokesperson approved them since Laura passed away February 10th 1957. But HOLLYWOOD is HOLLYWOOD. I also read Michael Landon owned the series and movie rights. I just hope her legacy goes on for our next generation.
There's no way they could have sold their townhouse In 1990, as for they would have been well over 100 years old. And we know that didn't happen. Get on top of that editing if you're going to try to do a professional video.
Ofcourse her life had tragic events, just like everyone else. Unlike many of us, she met the love of her life and never divorced. I wish I could say the same thing about my life.
the removal of her name from that award is a shame & uncalled for. They said it was from a story with racist comments toward First Nation folks. I read that story & saw the episode with that story & all she did was reflect the times. It was also, how she came to terms with the racism she was taught & how to overcome it. To learn people are people no matter the clothes they wear or the skin they were born in. We all bleed the same, we all feel pain the same, we all embrace joy & love & We all grieve. These are very important lessons, the best way to end racism is to confront it, face it then end it. She deserves all the praise & respect for all she has done with her life & the influence That she had to those who heard her stories. IMHO peace
I’m always gobstopped at literary people that think they can question and judge an author on their actual experiences…especially when it dealt with Laura’s experience with Native American Indians….who the hell are they to say anything about what she records of HER experience!?!?🤨 It just shows THEIR ignorance and idiocy….
Does anyone remember the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation Sarah, Plain and Tall from the 90s? It starred Christopher Walken and Glenn Close. It's very much like Little House on the Prairie.
Unfortunately there are a few inconsistencies in here, and they are all surrounding dates. The dates are from the 1800's, not the 1900's! Please try to adjust. :) Love the additional information though, very thorough!
This didn't mention their homesteads in Southern Kansas where there is a small house just south west of Independence Kansas claiming it was where they once lived, or West Virginia
I'm tired of seeing how 'tragic' their life was. That is not accurate. Sure, after Almanzo wasn't able to work as much, Laura had to do more. But by the time of the Great Depression they were doing well and they were in a situation that it didn't hit them as hard as most people were hit. They weathered it pretty well. They had a pretty good life compared to a lot of people in similar situations. Despite her first attempt at publishing her biography as an adult book failing, her daughter did help her and the kids books were successful and slightly fictionalized as well. They did not have a Tragic life. They had their struggles but most people did.
Are they kidding? Why are native viewpoints more valid than that of a prairie settler child? Everyone has a view. Why is it "inclusiveness" seem to inherently require excluding anything that isn't socially and politically in fashion?
Really, seeing a 2024 familiar face & man, walking through the high corn field????. Soo many errors, different centuries giving birth then moving... Who approved of this failure of a grand story told by Laura Ingalls Wilder?
To this video creator, please edit this video to correct dates. Millions of Ingalls readers notice the errors and find them confusing or, worse, irritating. Otherwise, this video is good.😮
Loved the history & the narration but had to stop listening because my autistic brain can’t filter out / ignore the jazz music that almost drowns out the speaker. I wish this was available without the music for neuro diverse people.
Listen very carefulness how to time marker 14:46. The narrator said ‘1990’ instead of 1890! That is a big goof and I am shocked that nobody caught that!
Besides the age and the causes behind her death I didn't lern anything of importance that I didn't know already, this is 99% word salad and a waste of my time. I strongly recommend that you change the byline because your claim of the contents isn't accurate.
In "early life and background" you mention that Laura Ingalls was born in 1867, but in the video it says 1987. And the birth of Rose in 1886 says 1986 in the video. And then "around 1990 they sold their town house"? (14:46)
This feels like an AI “documentary” - weird mixing of what might be archival images with LHOP television footage with stock footage of modern day classrooms, and strange jazz music background layered with the narration and LHOP footage soundtracks. Also, strange repetitions of catch phrases, very strange, very discordant. Instead of all that effort and cost to develop the AI tech to do this, you could hire REAL documentarians to create a REAL documentary.
The church is hilarious, since if you really wanted to disclose details you would describe the real one. Reverend Brown’s parlor, no white dress, and a best friend you don’t mention. Where do you get the information that their marriage was anything but harmonious?

Editing is your friend, as you mention Laura and Rose did in the video. This would be better as ~8-10 minutes instead of 32+: then you wouldn't be repeating video clips, adding unrealated clips and repeating & resummerizing info 2-5 or more times. Also strange you're the only source for saying her name was LES and her mother's maiden name was different, too, as well as other info I can't confirm, or is contradicted elsewhere? Very tedeous to watch for a couple tidbits of info I can't be sure is true.
Misleading clickbait thumbnail pic when Lester Holt isn't even IN or Narrating this....shame on you!!!
The writer of this video must have written the Laura Ingalls Wilder article for Wikipedia because they are almost verbatim in sections. hmmm
The idiosyncracies of this script suggest that the “writer” of this script is ChatGPT.
I learned my Morals, Values and Principles by watching Little House and the Waltons. I watched from the very first episode and practically know every word by heart. Laura was the same age as I was when the first episode came out. I pretended to be Laura as a child. I'm looking 60 years old in the face this year. The books were required reading for Military (Department of Defense DOD school.)
Hollywood took liberties with Laura's journeys. My understanding is Laura's spokesperson approved them since Laura passed away February 10th 1957. But HOLLYWOOD is HOLLYWOOD. I also read Michael Landon owned the series and movie rights. I just hope her legacy goes on for our next generation.
Not even going to watch the video. Thanks for the comments!
Reported and down voted for misinformation 👎
Yeah what was really tragic, did I miss it?
It’s not “Pep Peen”, it’s Pep-in. I lived in the area & very much a fan of hers. She was brave, intelligent, talented & tough.
There is no way I am going to subscribe to your channel…this is so full of misinformation and incorrect dates. Who can trust what you are presenting?
You could have kept scrolling Karen.
There's no way they could have sold their townhouse In 1990, as for they would have been well over 100 years old. And we know that didn't happen. Get on top of that editing if you're going to try to do a professional video.
Get a grip
It’s AI. Garbage in garbage out
Was just a typo, it was probably 1890 when the house on edge of Mansfield was sold not 1990.
Some of you take things that you don't even know about very seriously. Your advice sucks and you're incredibly rude.
1990 I think they meant 1890 I know by 1990 they were long gone but awesome video
This is a hack site . The dates are all wrong .
i dont blame her from moving away from florida from the humidity. that place is a swamp and it sucks there
I think it's great!
They didn’t have air conditioners then!
Wow, you sound really childish.
As much as I love this story, this narrative is difficult to listen to. 😕
Kevin Costner Field of dreams lol 14:48
I noticed that too 😂
Ofcourse her life had tragic events, just like everyone else. Unlike many of us, she met the love of her life and never divorced. I wish I could say the same thing about my life.
the removal of her name from that award is a shame & uncalled for.
They said it was from a story with racist comments toward First Nation folks.
I read that story & saw the episode with that story & all she did was reflect the times.
It was also, how she came to terms with the racism she was taught & how to overcome it.
To learn people are people no matter the clothes they wear or the skin they were born in.
We all bleed the same, we all feel pain the same, we all embrace joy & love & We all grieve.
These are very important lessons, the best way to end racism is to confront it, face it then end it.
She deserves all the praise & respect for all she has done with her life & the influence
That she had to those who heard her stories. IMHO peace
The narrator says 1867 but the video shows 1987, WTF?
The real Laura the girl in the video is an actress
Help from family always is a boost. More than most don't have financial help. Money that falls from the sky.
I tried, I just can't deal with the music! And tragic???? Click-bait at its finest folks! So many real documentaries out there.
Your banner with Rose's date of birth says 1986 instead of 1886. I enjoyed both the books and show when I was growing up.
I’m always gobstopped at literary people that think they can question and judge an author on their actual experiences…especially when it dealt with Laura’s experience with Native American Indians….who the hell are they to say anything about what she records of HER experience!?!?🤨 It just shows THEIR ignorance and idiocy….
Does anyone remember the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation Sarah, Plain and Tall from the 90s? It starred Christopher Walken and Glenn Close. It's very much like Little House on the Prairie.
Unfortunately there are a few inconsistencies in here, and they are all surrounding dates. The dates are from the 1800's, not the 1900's! Please try to adjust. :) Love the additional information though, very thorough!
She didn't finish the farm in 1990. She died in the 1950's
Actually, it wasn’t in 1869 that they moved to Kansas. They first moved to NW MO the year before.
I believe it was 1869 they moved to Kansas; after they had lived in Missouri during 1868
This didn't mention their homesteads in Southern Kansas where there is a small house just south west of Independence Kansas claiming it was where they once lived, or West Virginia
She was not fond of American Indians or people of color in general. She had her shortcomings.
There was a famous aviatrix called Laura ingalls related to FDR
I'm tired of seeing how 'tragic' their life was. That is not accurate. Sure, after Almanzo wasn't able to work as much, Laura had to do more. But by the time of the Great Depression they were doing well and they were in a situation that it didn't hit them as hard as most people were hit. They weathered it pretty well. They had a pretty good life compared to a lot of people in similar situations. Despite her first attempt at publishing her biography as an adult book failing, her daughter did help her and the kids books were successful and slightly fictionalized as well. They did not have a Tragic life. They had their struggles but most people did.
Are they kidding? Why are native viewpoints more valid than that of a prairie settler child? Everyone has a view. Why is it "inclusiveness" seem to inherently require excluding anything that isn't socially and politically in fashion?
Would have been much better without the music! It doesn’t set any mood, so it serves no purpose except to annoy some of us
The real Almanzo was handsome and Laura was pretty
Really, seeing a 2024 familiar face & man, walking through the high corn field????. Soo many errors, different centuries giving birth then moving...
Who approved of this failure of a grand story told by Laura Ingalls Wilder?
Time stamp 14:46 says in 1990 they sold their townhome to shift their focus to the farm. 😂
The teaser implied atragic married life we were unaware. Didn't sound so tragic to me.
To this video creator, please edit this video to correct dates. Millions of Ingalls readers notice the errors and find them confusing or, worse, irritating.
Otherwise, this video is good.😮
Loved the history & the narration but had to stop listening because my autistic brain can’t filter out / ignore the jazz music that almost drowns out the speaker. I wish this was available without the music for neuro diverse people.
Why did you include a clip of Amelie de Monmatre? Makes no sense
Listen very carefulness how to time marker 14:46. The narrator said ‘1990’ instead of 1890! That is a big goof and I am shocked that nobody caught that!
could you have padded this anymore? And I wasn't aware Laura and Almanzo were alive in 1990
Written and narrated by AI.
I'm actually related to Laura through my fathers side
I love the little house book but daughter Rose did very much editing so that the books would be published.
They also were kicked off of indian land for trespassing in the Dakotas
Besides the age and the causes behind her death I didn't lern anything of importance that I didn't know already, this is 99% word salad and a waste of my time.
I strongly recommend that you change the byline because your claim of the contents isn't accurate.
Sorry, I couldn't watch to the end. The dates jumping around between centuries and the intonations of the AI voice were annoying.
In "early life and background" you mention that Laura Ingalls was born in 1867, but in the video it says 1987. And the birth of Rose in 1886 says 1986 in the video. And then "around 1990 they sold their town house"? (14:46)
This feels like an AI “documentary” - weird mixing of what might be archival images with LHOP television footage with stock footage of modern day classrooms, and strange jazz music background layered with the narration and LHOP footage soundtracks. Also, strange repetitions of catch phrases, very strange, very discordant.
Instead of all that effort and cost to develop the AI tech to do this, you could hire REAL documentarians to create a REAL documentary.
The annoying music makes this a challenging watch 😢 and all these errors.. interesting topic but shoddily done
2 laura ingalls in little house in big woods
The church is hilarious, since if you really wanted to disclose details you would describe the real one. Reverend Brown’s parlor, no white dress, and a best friend you don’t mention. Where do you get the information that their marriage was anything but harmonious?
Oh goodness, this droned on with repetitive word after repetitive word
Amazing never knew this❤❤❤
Ugh. Another stupid AI video. I would have loved an actual video. Made it two minutes in before quitting after the second “took her first breath”
Why was Kevin Costner in the video?
This is a hot mess.. wrong dates and wrong info
11:25 "published in 1971."
This is a lousy vid. Too much gushing and too little material.
Interesting but I agree with the comment you need to check and re-check your dates and info before you upload. 1990? Hmmmmm.
