Laura Ingalls was born on February 7, 1867 to Charles and Caroline Ingalls in Pepin, Wisconsin. Laura grew up to write the iconic Little House books which told of her family's personal pioneer story. There are many pioneer perspectives. She wrote about her own family's experiences. She also wrote a book focusing on her husband's childhood in the book Farmer Boy.
People have been reading the Little House books since 1932 and still love them today.
