Description

Long hidden in archives, Laura Ingalls Wilder’s original handwritten autobiography is a tribute to her family and her experiences as a pioneer.

Written for an older audience, Pioneer Girl is her first-person narrative of the settling of Dakota Territory, the building of the railroad west, and life as a pioneer.

The stories in this autobiography formed the basis of Wilder’s international best-selling autobiographical novels, known as the Little House Series.

For the first time, readers will have full access to the original manuscript that began it all. Written in six tablets on lined paper, Pioneer Girl follows the Ingalls family through Kansas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, back to Minnesota, and on to Dakota Territory over a sixteen-year period.

Using revised Pioneer Girl manuscripts edited by Wilder’s daughter Rose Wilder Lane, letters written between Wilder and Lane, photographs, newspapers, and other sources, Pamela Smith Hill and other editors of the Pioneer Girl Project lead readers through Wilder’s early recollections and her first attempts at publication.

While Laura Ingalls Wilder is a familiar figure, Pioneer Girl: The Annotated Autobiography re-introduces readers to the woman who defines the pioneer experience and gives new insight into her motivations and experiences. For more information visit: www.pioneergirlproject.org
