Though best known as the author of the Little House books, Laura Ingalls Wilder led a full, rich life that spanned almost a century of American history. All through her life Laura saved mementos of her past, including early writings, letters, drawings, and photographs, which have been lovingly preserved in private and public collections across the country. Now, for the first time ever, these photographs, writings, and memorabilia have been gathered together in one incredible volume by noted Little House historian William Anderson. Each gorgeous page of LAURA'S ALBUM is a doorway into the private world of Laura Ingalls Wilder, and offers a unique glimpse of what her life was like. Here is the fascinating true story of this remarkable pioneer woman's life as well as an unforgettable tale of our own American past.

An Outstanding Scrapbooki of Laura Wilder's Life!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Looking for new ideas for my grandmother's scrapbook, I wanted to see how this unique author has been represented in scrapbook form. It is interesting to see this outstanding format and along with the story, pictures and mememotos from her life! I like the way the narrative was presented to match the photos and other notes and articles about Laura's life. Shown were the rara ambrotypes of the Civil War era. I also have the similar ambrotypes but did not know what they were named!
Educational as well as fun!

A Must Have for Laura Ingalls Wilder Fans!!!

I highly recommend that book to all Laura Ingalls Wilder fans. You will find pictures of the Ingalls family, Manly and Laura ,even of Nellie Owens (AKA Nellie OLeson) and much more. In my opinion this is one of the best I bought about her.
Excellent photographs

I realize of course there was text, written superbly by William Anderson. The treat here, though, is the color photographs of artifacts from the museums. For anyone disappointed in the poorly reproduced b & w photos from West from Home and On the Way Home, you are in for a treat. But as a Laura-junkie, I'd shave a 1/2 a star off as I wanted more, more, more!
