L AURA INGALLS WILDER

Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote stories that have defined the American frontier
for generations of readers. As both author and character in her own books,
she became one of the most famous figures in American children’s litera-
ture. Her award-winning Little House series, based on her childhood in
Wisconsin, Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota, blended memoir and
fiction into a vivid depiction of nineteenth-century settler life that contin-
ues to shape many Americans’ understanding of the country’s past. Poised
between fiction and fact, literature and history, Wilder’s life is a fascinating
window on the American West.

Placing Wilder’s life and work in historical context, and including previ-
ously unpublished material from the Wilder archives, Sallie Ketcham
introduces students to domestic frontier life, the conflict between Native
Americans and infringing white populations, and the West in public mem-
ory and imagination.

Sallie Ketcham is an independent scholar and writer from Minnesota.

 R OUTLEDGE HISTORICAL AMERICANS

SERIES EDITOR: PAUL FINKELMAN

Routledge Historical Americans is a series of short, vibrant biographies

that illuminate the lives of Americans who have had an impact on the world.
Each book includes a short overview of the person’s life and puts that per-
son into historical context through essential primary documents, written
both by the subjects and about them. A series website supports the books,
containing extra images and documents, links to further research, and,
where possible, multi-media sources on the subjects. Perfect for including
in any course on American History, the books in the Routledge Historical
Americans series show the impact everyday people can have on the course
of history.
