From 1869/1871 the Ingalls, Charles Caroline and their two daughters Mary and Laura did not move directly to Kansas. In the yard in front of the house were two beautiful big oak trees. Every morning as soon as she was awake Laura ran to look out of the window, and one morning she saw in each of the big trees a dead deer hanging from a branch.I looked down at my feet, and then I saw that one big-toe nail had been torn clean off.

In addition to the Little House series, four series of books expand them to include five generations of Wilder's family.

"But Prince jumped into the path ahead of her and snarled at her. He paid no attention to her talking and scolding. He just kept on showing his teeth and snarling, and when she tried to get past him he kept in front of her and snapped at her. That scared her." Every Sunday Mary and Laura were dressed from the skin out in their best clothes, with fresh ribbons in their hair. They were very clean, because they had their baths on Saturday night.
