Laura Ingalls Wilder (1867–1957) was inspired by her own childhood experiences on the American frontier, which she began writing about at the prompting of her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane. In 1932 she published Little House in the Big Woods, which was set in Wisconsin, where Wilder was born. After writing Farmer Boy (1933), a book about her husband’s childhood, Wilder published Little House on the Prairie (1935), a reminiscence of her family’s stay in Kansas (Indian Territory).
