The Little House Books
Little House on the Prairie shows the Ingalls family leaving the cabin and crossing over to Kansas Territory. Farmer Boy focuses on Almanzo and his boyhood spent on a New York farm. In ON the Banks of Plum Creek features the Ingalls moving to a Walnut Grove farm in Minnesota. In By the Shores of Silver Lake, the Ingalls sold their Minnesota farm and relocating to Dakota Territory. Meanwhile, we watched the family survive on no coal and little food in The Long Winter. Of course, let us not forget about Laura studying to be a teacher and helping her sister go to school for the blind in Little Town on the Prairie. Finally, These Happy Golden Years showed Laura’s teaching career and her relationship with Almanzo.

Standalone Or Last Series Installment
As we said before, the Little House books had been written for school-age kids. Laura Ingalls Wilder penned eight volumes about the pioneering life based on the real-life experiences she and her family experienced on the American frontier during the 19th century. When Rose died in 1968, literary executor Roger MacBride found The First Four Years in her belongings. It focused on the early days of the marriage between Laura and Almanzo. Her mother wrote the books in pencil, apparently. Without any editing whatsoever, they published it in the original manuscript form in 1971. To date, no one has any clue if it was going to be a standalone or the ninth installment in the series.
