Laura: The Life of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Donald Zochert

The first major biography published about Laura Ingalls Wilder, this book was published due to the wide popularity of the Little House on the Prairie television show and features the cast on the cover.

Description

This book by Donald Zochert was published shortly after the television show brought renewed interest to the real life of Laura Ingalls Wilder.  In fact, this book features an illustration of the cast of the television show.  But it does detail the real life of Laura and was the first widely published biography about Laura and her family, and has remained in print ever since.  The one downfall of this book is that he does not use footnotes to document his research.
