Charles and Caroline Ingalls move with their three young daughters, Mary, Laura and Carrie from the big woods of Wisconsin to the open prairies of Kansas. Their closest neighbor, Isaiah Edwards, helps them settle on the prairie as they encounter fierce storms, destructive fires, and hostile Native American tribes. Ultimately the government forces the family off the land in Kansas. Note: The events in this pilot are based on the true story recorded by Laura Ingalls Wilder in her Little House series of books. The dramatic portrayals by the actors, in the dynamics between Charles and Caroline, are a bit more fictitious and modernized. The personalities of Laura and Mary are exactly as they were in life, and the line where Mary wanted to save her peppermint candy (brought to her from Santa Claus by Mr. Edwards) while Laura bit into hers right away was directly from Wilder's writing. |
