Laura Ingalls is a small girl caught up in the westward expansion. When her Pa decides the Big Woods of Wisconsin is too crowded, the Ingalls family packs up and heads for open spaces.
Life is difficult in a small covered wagon, and the dangers they must face on their journey are many. When they decide to settle in Kansas the work is constant, hard, and sometimes dangerous. They build a home and work the land and survive a prairie fire only to find out, a year later, that they have built three miles over the line into Indian Territory.
How the family handles losing everything is as inspiring as their hard work over the course of the year.
