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.

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.
