About this product

Product Information

A detailed diary from the author of the beloved Little House series, chronicling her journey with her family from South Dakota to Missouri. In 1894, Laura Ingalls Wilder, her husband, Almanzo, and their daughter, Rose, packed their belongings into their covered wagon and set out on a journey from De Smet, South Dakota, to Mansfield, Missouri. They heard that the soil there was rich and the crops were bountiful--it was even called "the Land of the Big Red Apple." With hopes of beginning a new life, the Wilders made their way to the Ozarks of Missouri. During their journey, Laura kept a detailed diary of events: the cities they passed through, the travelers they encountered on the way, the changing countryside and the trials of an often difficult voyage. Laura's words, preserved in this book, are a fascinating account of life and travel at the turn of the twentieth century, and reveal Laura's inner thoughts as she traveled with her family in search of a new home in Mansfield, where Laura would write her Little House books.

I ordered 2 books from this seller; this one was exactly as described and in good condition. The other is even better, but covered in other feedback. I would say that this seller's books are in better condition than other online used bookstores for the same price. The books were well wrapped, again better than other online used bookstores. Shipping was free which is always a plus. The books came quickly considering sometimes roads are closed due to high winds here. Very happy with purchase!

  • Wonderful read.

    Laura writes in her diary as she does in her books. We go with them on their journey. Even though this was published after her death, to have the notes of their daughter, Rose, who remembered the trip as a child, really adds to the realness of the trip. I would definitely recommend it to any reader of the Wilder books. Although the Little House series of books are considered "children's books" as a 72 year old adult, I enjoyed them immensely and recommend them to all ages.

    Added to my Little House collection of books. Love reading all the books. Just wish Laura had written more about her life.

  • Heart-warming continuation of Little House books

    The suspicion that Rose Wilder Lane, already an accomplished writer had a writerly hand in the Little House books, published under her mother's name, is largely confirmed in this 10th book. The opening section, written by RWL reflects much of the style of the LH books. The remainder of On The Way Home is a diary by LIW. There are very interesting insights about America, as it was then, to be gleaned from this diary. And, there is one very emotionally-dramatic moment when the family arrives in Missouri and prepares to make the payment on their first farm. The characters are fitted into your mind and heart all the more with this book, which continues the living detail found in the Little House books. I've now read them all to my daughter, Dagny Anastasia, as her bedtime story and, since ...

  • Informative and wonderfully written.
