There are also lots of great links. (Did you know that the book 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. & Canada Before You Die
features the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Country" of De Smet, South Dakota?)At the age of sixty-five, Wilder published the first of her eight "Little House" books, which she had been encouraged to write by her daughter, Rose. Who can say how many kids have been impacted by these stories about a girl raised on the American Prairie?
