Book Description:

While Laura Ingalls grows up in a little house on the western prairie, Almanzo Wilder is living on a big farm in New York State. Here Almanzo and his brother and sisters help with the summer planting and fall harvest. In winter there is wood to be chopped and great slabs of ice to be cut from the river and stored. Time for fun comes when the jolly tin peddler visits, or best of all, when the fair comes to town.

This is Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of how her husband Almanzo grew up as a farmer boy far from the little house where Laura lived.

Ten years in the future, Laura Ingalls wil marry Almanzo in the town of De Smet, South Dakota. But now, Almanzo is miles away, growing up w/his brother & sisters on his father's farm in New York.
Almanzo's chores get him up at dawn & keep him working till dinner - summer & winter. But it is fun, & it builds character. And was there ever a boy who loved horses more? Was there ever a boy w/a bigger appetite?
