Thank you for such a nice video of the Ingall/Wilder families. What always amazed me was how during the blizzards of The Long Winter Almanzo Wilder and Cap Garland drove their sleighs to get very much needed wheat to keep the people of their town from starving to death. They kept crashing down into the air pockets in the snow along the slough. They’d get off the sleds, dig out, and drive the horses until the sleds were back up and going again. They made it to the farm, got the wheat, then drove back. One store owner was going to charge a scalping fee for the wheat, and Almanzo and Cap put a stop to it. They were good men and they saved many lives that winter. Laura was very blessed to have such a good husband. My favorite book, if really that is even possible as they are all so good to read, was “These Happy Golden Years” where Almanzo proposed and soon they both married. Loved the artwork on the cover of the book depicting their romance unfolding along the lakes on those buggy rides. Laura gave us all around the world such a wonderful gift when she shared her life in the pages of her stories. I hope Laura and Almanzo are having many lovely buggy rides as they once did, but this time without Nellie. 😉
@@endtimesareuponus8930 I hope so. At least it can be said Nellie had good taste in men. Almanzo was a good man through and through. No one can deny that.
@@childswampfoot1897 I'm sorry - but Charles and Caroline Ingalls have no direct desendents. Only Laura had a child - Rose Wilder lane - and she had no surviving children.
I was there in the mid 1990s. Standouts were the replica soddie and seeing trees planted by Charles Ingalls. A memorable trip, well worth for any LIW fan!
Loved every minute of this video. It just takes a person back in time to how simple things were. But yes hard work. All the open land back then. It had to be a great time growing up.
Are u nuts? Mary went blind because of a Meningoencephalitis ...she had to live with her mother and sisters for her whole life. also you must not ever been truly poor cause there is nothing to romanticize about being hungry...truly hungry. You ar3 a dangerous idiot. Sigh you make me sick
White folks are always saying that. Entitled privilege has its ignorance, and they don't want any contributions from non-whites taught in predominantly white schools, because heaven forbid the "superiority" lie gets blown to hell.
@@novideostoday Hell yeah🤟🤟🤟 I will never bow down to any minorities who think they deserve this world because their ancestors were treated just so "terrible" not terrible enough as far as I'm concerned
We went to De Smet a few years ago as we be traveled the road of the Ingalls family. It was so interesting. In their house in De Smet is a braille book that Mary took everywhere. Don't know how she could even carry it it was at least 8 to 10 inches thick it was twice the size of an old family bible. I will never forget being there. I never heard of Laura Ingalls Wilder until the show and my kids were young Laura's books were in print when I was in grade school many years ago. So glad I have had the opportunity to visit their homes and their many places. The only places we didn't make was their home in Kansas and Missouri. Those will be a trip to look forward too.
Being reading the books for days and now looking at the tombstones of Ingalls familly brings me a strong emotion of sadness and nostalgia. I hope every one can be grateful to their lives and ones they love. Precious things gone so fast.
Actually, it's where the Ingalls family is buried. The only one who is not buried there, is Laura. Laura is buried along side her husband Almanzo, in Mansfield, Mo. Rose is buried along side her parents.
Not an American, but remember the "Little house on the other prairie" series from my childhood (it was played in many countries all over the world) and two or three years I had the chance to re-watch the series and I enjoyed your tour to the real places. ❤️
In 1968 my folks drove 40 miles out of the way so I could visit Laura's home in Mansfield, MO. I was 10 and adored the Little House book. My father even made me a wagon so my Barbies could go west! The family that lived in the property were going to a family reunion & I never got to visit the home....
We just visited little house in the prairie outside independence Kansas earlier this week. I love watching that show & I usually make the kids watch as well.
Another one is also buried in the De Smet cemetery. That's Laura's unnamed baby boy, who died 12 days after he was born. He is buried in the Ingalls family plot in the cemetery.
I’m from Knoxville... wondering what you mean by this? If there’s something around here, about the Ingalls’ family, I’m somehow missing it. (& I do NOT want to miss it!) :)
The olden days fascinates me, not much difference from the 3rd world country where I was born and raised, only it's in the 1950's until the 70's when I was introduced to the new world in the Western civilization. I love the reruns of Little House on the Prairie. As a matter of fact I saw every episodes of it, except maybe a few scenes where I had to skip it for I did not enjoys some of the characters where they are not well known actors. Sorry,, nothing personal to them,, but I always liked the beginning when the Ingalls kids are still little.
Amazing to look at the surveyors' house and think that was once the Only house, on a wild prairie, with wolves outside. Also Carrie, Laura and Almanzo lived from a time of horses to jet engines, a time when people were scalped by stone knives to the atomic age, a time of uncertain travel to global maps. The amount of technology and global changes they witnessed will probably never again be experienced by humanity.
I must be the only person in this world who thought this was just a tv show. I watched it each week but had no idea until now that it is based off of a real family. How did I go all these years not knowing? 🤣
The TV show is mostly fiction. While based on the real Ingalls family members & assorted characters from the books, most of what takes place on the weekly episodes is invention.
I read all the books series of little house, tears coming from eyes, I don't know why, I'm in India Bangalore, can I see Laura houses and places especially Wisconsin little house,?
Well apparently the Ingalls family could travel in time. Seeing as how they were pioneers in the 1970’s!🥴 Did no one notice the typo in the first slide??
Laura is buried in Mansfield Missouri. We go to there graves every year and to the museum there. Shes there alone side of her daughter Rose. Almonzo is there beside her. I always leave message for her on her grave.
