Those experiences formed the basis for Wilder's novels Little House in the Big Woods (1932) and the beginning of Little House on the Prairie (1935). The Ingalls family went back to Wisconsin where they lived for the next three years. Although in her novel, Little House on the Prairie, and Pioneer Girl memoir, Ingalls Wilder portrayed their departure as being prompted by rumors of eviction, she also noted that her parents needed to recover their Wisconsin land because the buyer had not paid the mortgage. They had just begun to farm when they heard rumors that settlers would be evicted, so they left in the spring of 1871. The Ingalls family had no legal right to occupy their homestead because it was on the Osage Indian reservation.
According to Ingalls Wilder, her father Charles Ingalls had been told that the location would be open to white settlers, but when they arrived this was not the case. Her younger sister, Carrie, was born in Independence in August 1870, not long before they moved again.
After stopping in Rothville, Missouri, they settled in the Indian country of Kansas, near modern-day Independence, Kansas. When she was two years old, Ingalls Wilder moved with her family from Wisconsin in 1869. President and Civil War General Ulysses S. She was a third cousin, once removed, of U.S. Laura was the 7th great granddaughter of the Mayflower passenger Richard Warren. One paternal ancestor, Edmund Ingalls, from Skirbeck, Lincolnshire, England, emigrated to America, settling in Lynn, Massachusetts. Ingalls was a descendant of the Delano family, the ancestral family of U.S. Ingalls Wilder's birth site is commemorated by a replica log cabin at the Little House Wayside in Pepin. Three more children would follow, Caroline Celestia (Carrie), Charles Frederick, who died in infancy, and Grace Pearl. She was the second of five children, following older sister, Mary Amelia. Ingalls' home in Pepin became the setting for her first book, Little House in the Big Woods (1932). At the time of Ingalls' birth, the family lived seven miles north of the village of Pepin, Wisconsin, in the Big Woods region of Wisconsin. Laura Elizabeth Ingalls was born to Charles Phillip and Caroline Lake (née Quiner) Ingalls on February 7, 1867.
