Controversy
The series has gotten some flak for using Laura Ingalls Wilder as a character.
In this book series, the Wilder's farm is called "Apple Hill Farm" instead of "Rocky Ridge Farm" which is what is in historical accounts. Pa Ingalls visits Laura in book 4 but he had died historically several years earlier. Laura also gives birth to a daughter at the end of book 8 when, historically, she did not have any more children.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
“Ours was a highly activist administration, with a lot of controversy involved ... but I’m not sure that it would be inconsistent with my own political nature to do it differently if I had it to do all over again.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
