My Teacher, Dawn Renninger, is dressed up like Laura Ingalls Wilder today. At my school, Indian Valley High School, it is dress up like your favorite ficiotnal character day today. Laura Ingalls Wilder was a real person though ,so how can she dress like Laura for fictional character day??? It doesn't make sense.

Although, Laura Ingalls Wilder was real person, the Little House novels are not autobiographies, they are fictionalized, meaning that the incidents described did not neccisarily hapen the way, or when, they happen in the books. For example: Laura was about three years old when her family moved to Kansas for the events portrayed in Little House on the Prairie. After leaving Kansas, the family moved back to Wisconsin for a period. Since Laura was to young to remember the much before she moved to Kansas, it is likely that the events portrayed in Little House in the Big Woods happened after the events in Kansas, not before. However that sequence did not fit Mrs. Wilder's plan for the series, which was to follow a plan of continious Western movement. In short the Laura of the little house books is a fictional character based on the real life child Laura Ingalls. Dsmdgold 21:55, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Uh...I remember a LOT of things from when I was 3...certainly enough to fill a book the size of Little House in the Big Woods... TShilo12 07:58, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] I'm A Wilder

A rather general search of my family tree suggests that I am a possible descendent of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

My mother's grandfather was George Wilder ... fought in the American-Spanish war ... a homesteader during the Oklahoma land rush ... who established a town in Oklahoma. I saw a picture of Laura Wilder in her later years and she definitely has a family resemblence.

Anyone who might also believe they are related ... or just have useful information ... I would so much appreciate your reply.

Although you might be related, you are not a descendent. Laura had two children, a son who died in infancy and a daughter, Rose, who was childless. Laura, of course was an Ingalls, and is not genetically related to the Wilder family. Dsmdgold 16:14, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Inconsistency of name references

This article refers to Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane by their given names but the article on the latter uses their family names. Could somebody make the call and fix this? --Kenji Yamada 05:57, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Family Tree

Here's a family tree I put together, perhaps it can be included somewhere. My suggestion would be to make a template out of it, for ease of inclusion.

Charles Phillip Ingalls

Caroline Lake Quiner

James Wilder

Angeline Day

Older Wilder child

Younger Wilder child

Laura Ingalls

Almanzo Wilder

Rose Wilder

Unnamed baby boy

[edit] Acreage

For consistency, should not area in terms of acres be given in SI units as hectares? Or, if area is to be given in square kilometers, should not acreage be given in terms of square miles? One or the other, one would think. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pgranzeau (talk • contribs) 23:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC).
