	NLS/BPH: Minibibliographies, The Little House Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
		Laura Ingalls was born in Pepin, Wisconsin, a few years after the end of the Civil War.
		Wilder wrote the stories because she realized she had lived history, and she wanted children to learn about America's heritage--frontier life, homesteading, the coming of the railroads--as she had experienced it as a child.
		Leaving the prairie for a farm and a primitive sod hut in Minnesota, the Ingalls must battle a flood, a blizzard, and a devastating plague of grasshoppers.
