On this episode of Our American Stories, Laura Ingalls Wilder turned her frontier childhood into one of the most iconic book series in history—Little House on the Prairie. It makes sense why it was so popular...it captured the brutal hardships and lofty hopes of pioneer life on paper, and inspired a hit television show that brought her words to millions. Scholars Dedra Birzer and Pamela Smith Hill share the story.
