I live about 30 minutes away from Laura's house in Mansfield MO. It's wonderful...they have a museum with Pa's fiddle, Laura's original handwrtten manuscripts, and all kind of things mentioned in the books. The best part, though, is being able to walk through her house, which is as she left it, including the organ. If you ever have a chance to see it, Mansfield is a little south of Springfield and well worth the trip.
I went there once when visiting family. Yes it was wonderful. The day of my visit, there was also a group of Quakers or Amish also doing the tour. I found it interesting to see them there. Made the day feel more like the 1800s :)
Thank you so much for sharing all these pictures I watch Little House on the Prairie every day me and my family. Love the Show .. I will watch it as long as I have it on and wherever it comes on at thank you so much again and all the players that played these people they were all great actors and actresses
@@nuttybar9 According to the books by Laura; Mary had blonde hair and was considered prettier than Laura! She doesn't look blonde, and Laura by far was much prettier!
@@Violetrain316 Yes she was pretty ! I also read the books where Mary was blonde when she was a little girl and even a teen and had imagined her to be pretty according to the drawings but i got disappointed when i saw real Mary. She wasn't blonde ,rather light chestnut and Laura was way prettier!
Laura was the prettiest of the 4 Ingals girls. Mary was actually the most unattractive and Carrie looked like Mary's twin. Yes Almonzo was a hunk then and would be considered one now.
Over 120 years now.. they're long gone. Many casts on the show are also gone...time flies so fast. For me LHOTP is one of the best TV shows to watch with the family. They're so many good life values kids & adults can learn from.
Many thanks to Laura for writing those books giving us a glimpse of what her childhood was like and a tv show that made all of them famous long after their deaths.
My mother lived in Mansfield in the early 50's and went to church with Laura and took me to her house. I don't remember this because I was about 2 or 3. Mom always said Melissa Gilbert had a real likeness to Laura. I wished I remembered her. Read all her books and watched the show loved it.
That was wonderful. Thank you. Laura & her family were amazing people. How many of us would never have known what it was truly like in the 1800's, not only as a child,but all ages if she hadn't written these books. I became interested in history because of her books. I must have read each of them a hundred times & I still enjoy them & I'm in my 50's. Even my son enjoyed some of her books. I have to say that I don't understand the big,long beards. I guess it was more of a necessity? I know that I couldn't have dealt with my husband having one like that.
I admit that I did not like the little house tv show. It just didn't portray the real life of Laura & her family the way Laura wrote it. Too Hollywood for me. Maybe if I had never read the books I would have felt differently.
One of the best series ever made! Micheal Landen was an excellent actor and producer. Gone too soon’ I watch them all the time and never get tired of them! 🙏🏻❤️
Love it i was a fan of Little House on the Prairie that was a wonderful show i liked the show and the theme song u did a wonderful job on the video R.I.P. to Laura Ingalls Wilder her husband Almanzo and to their kids Rose and son
Rose died in 1968, I believe. The show debuted in 1974. It gives me goosebumps to think that if she had lived 6 more years, that she could've watched her mother's life, or Hollywood's version of it, dramatized on TV.
It was a fiction based on fictional books which were based on a real person's life. I have read the fictional books many, many times and as much true biographical information as I could lay my hands on. The television show is an insult to all of it.
I used to watch the series with my great-grandmother, Sarita. She loved it because it reminded her of her childhood (she was from a very rural area in NM, so they were slow to catch up with modern fashion and conveniences). She also first lived in a dugout with her family until she was about 5 or so. She loved the clothes, horses, and wagons. We last visited the dugout site many decades ago and it was still there, but it was ruins by then. Now I'm sure we wouldn't even be able to find it, especially because Sarita's walked on now. I really hope she got to meet Laura Ingalls Wilder. =)
I live in NM and have a friend whose dad grew up in a little place out here called Marquez. He always Loved the show because it reminded him of his childhood there.
Rose was very much a mixture of Laura and Almanzo. It's so sad Laura and Almanzo had their baby son die as did Charles and Caroline. Rose was the reason the Little House books were published. We all owe her much gratitude for that.
Che bello rivederVi insieme dopo tutti questi anni!! Purtroppo qualcuno manca...Noi Vi portiamo tutto sul cuore Siete stati GRANDi!!!! BRAVI!!! Ognuno nel suo ruolo meraviglioso! Magistralmente diretti dal Grande e Stupendo Maicol Landon al quale va' il nostro ricordo ed affetto per quanto è riuscito a fare con La casa nella Prateria Ancora oggi anno 2021 Vi seguiamo puntualmente negli episodi tutti belli ed alcuni molto emozionanti! Grazie a tutti Meravigliosi Attori!! Grazie,grazie al Grande Amico Landon🙏❤️❤️❤️💋💋
I was in high school when Little House on the Prairie first aired in the 1970s...TV was still clean and quality programming was abundant. It was on Monday night and I never missed an episode. Thank you for this very nice presentation...I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
It used to be one my very favorite show. Hardly ever missed an episode. Miss the show. They should have a channel specially for Little House on the Prairie, Three is Company, Three stooges, I Dream of Genie..
I didn't watch the show very much, as I was busy raising my own family at the time. However, I started reading Laura Ingalls Wilder books when I was very young, and read them all in quick succession. I loved her books and they took me away from my very frightening childhood. I will always love her books.
You might enjoy 'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' and 'How Green was my Valley', then. The books are wonders of imagery and prose. You'll cry over them and love every page!
I can't get enough of Anne of Green Gables! Moved on to Anne of Avonlea+ Anne of the Islands to her being a grandmother.. You will enjoy these books too!
AT 9 YEARS OLD I DISCOVERED LAURAS BOOKS AT A BOOK SALE IN MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL! I JUST TURNED 59 YEARS OLD AND THE INTEREST THAT I FELT THAT WINTER DAY 50 YEARS AGO IS EVER SO STRONG THANK YOU LAURA AND OFCOURSE THANK YOU MICHAEL LANDON MAY BOTH OF YOU REST IN ETERNAL PEACE I'LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU BOTH!!💗💗💗💗💗
No wonder Laura called him Manly!Almanzo was a good lookin dude!I loved and still love the show,every actor on it,right down to my favorite Nasty Nellie and the doting Harriet Olsen....wish more shows were like this now, tv too shallow anymore with reality tv stupidity.
Sure! Manly or Almanzo was fine and i must admit that he was finer than the actor Dean butler..I guess the real Almanzo had many females chasing him..Lol!
I went to their home in Mansfield MO. It was like they had just stepped out for a time. Almonzo's meds were still beside the bed and Laura's stool that Almonzo made for her was still in front of her chair. Dishes in the kitchen and the last calendar still hanging. It was sweet and sad at the same time. They also had a small museum that had many pictures of the families and thing you could buy. I'd like to go back. I loved Little House.
This show is and was sooooooooogood for all people it made you laugh,cry,think twice,happy,sad,mad,glad you name it,this show had it,all the actors did a wonderful job(SOME OF THE BEST ACTORS,ACTRESSES THAT EVER WAS.THEY SHOULD ALL BE IN THE HALL OF FAME.RIP TO ALL THE ONES THAT HAS GONE ON AND BEST OF EVERYTHING TO THE ONES THAT ARE STILL HERE .WE ALL TAKE OUR HATS OFF TO EVERY ONE OF YOU NOW AND 4EVER MORE..
Grew up watching LHOTP and now back to watching it everyday cos' it makes me smile, laugh and cry❣ Thanx for all these pics, crazy how people back then looked soo much older than their age 🤠
Loved seeing the pictures. Thank you. Loved the books. Begged my parents for the boxed set as a child. It cost 11.00. We did not have much money but they bought them for me anyway. I was and still am thankful. I've read them over and over and also loaned them out to my nieces. But I always make sure they come back to me.
Pure escapism in England every Sunday afternoon. Great entertainment for all the family. Some great role models, Where are good role models for young minds today?. I can't help to think about Michael Lambdon while watching. His warmth and spirtuality come across to me.R..I P. those who have sadly passed away. Thank you so much for a wonderful historical documentation, and insight into. Laura's family and life.
Loved the show, read all the books. Thanks for posting these wonderful pictures. And in my opinion, Laura deserves to keep her literary awards. The stories she told were true to the history of the time. Again thank you.
Steph G , I appreciate your comment. Ms. Wilder is one of the great treasures of American literature. If not for her, millions of us would know nothing of the lives of American children of pioneers after the civil war. This is some more politically correct gobbledegook which means nothing. Thank you!
There is a direct descendant of Laura Ingalls who lives in Riverton, Wyoming. I helped build his house and remarked to the man I was working with that since we were getting close to being through with the house (and because the high desert where we were building the house looked a lot like the country in the movie series) I jokingly told him that we should get a welcome mat that said "Welcome to the little house on the prairie". He startled me when he replied that the man we were building the house for - J. Ingalls - was a direct descendant of Laura Ingalls Wilder. You could have blown me away! And his wife (a lady from Germany) told me in conversation one day that she used to watch "Little House on the Prairie" every day when she was a little girl in Germany and never dreamed that she would one day marry into the Ingalls family. Small world!
She can't have any direct descendant, her daughter never had any living children. Also any descendant would not be an Ingalls because her married name was Wilder.
He must have been a direct descendant of the Ingalls family but not of Laura (whose descendants had there been any, would not have been called Ingalls). Charles ingalls had about 5 brothers so there must be a few descendants.
That man may have thelast name of Ingalls. But he’s probably feeding all a line. Just because his last name is Ingalls doesn’t make him any kin to the real Laura Ingalls Wilder. Or a direct ascendant either, because Ingalls is Laura’s maiden name. And Wilder is get her married last name. Duh!! If he is a direct ascendant of the Ingalls family it would be from Charles Ingalls side of the family.
So did I. I loved those books so much. I was thrilled when the TV series started. I couldn't believe I was actually going to get a chance to see all about the prairie. 🤗
I have loved and I love this wonderful story. The little house in the prairie is a fantastic part of my life. I happily saw this serial and it reminds me the nice little mountain village where I spent my happy childhood. Thank you for posting. Excellent.
Boy do those pictures bring back wonderful memories of so many funny and exciting stories! I have actually read through the entire series SIX times, plus Laura’s last book of her personal diary. As a child, while growing up I read through the entire series four times. Because I was so in love with Laura’s stories that I also introduced the collection to my eldest daughter, now 36, when she was little of whom I read the entire series. The last time I read them to my youngest daughter, now 21. I’ve since lost track of the collection I once had but I’m now tempted to see if I might be able to locate the entire collection again. I would love to start reading them to my nearly 5 year old granddaughter. 😊🎀📚📚
I have never missed an opportunity to see them. I have always been in love with Laura.
5 лет назад+1
This is a wonderful video, the best I have ever seen! So many pictures I have never seen and a few even colorized, that was a real treat! Many happy memories of growing up with the books and show in the 70's and I still have the books today and entire DVD series!
Little House On The Prairie was one of my favorite TV shows growing up. I still watch episodes and brings back all sorts of good memories. This is a heart warming video. Thanks for sharing!
Not sure about the Nellie thing about the book writting but here's something funny. We live on a farm and my daughter named all her chickens. one of them is named Nellie she is the chicken yard bullie so it's fits her well. lol
Come on ,kids theses days watch much worse.. Wake up, and smell the coffee. The Internet is one big dark hwy.. Your nit picking like the rest of the people on the Internet. There's always going to be one. I was younger and I watched it. It teaches values and how to be humble. Something this world lacks greatly. And by the way my children and grandchildren love Little House On The Prairie .
Me too. I just watched the marathon yesterday. I started tuning in early in the morning & stayed up until 1 in the morning. I watch it all week long too. I hate missing my favorite show. I became obsessed. I collect antiques cause they remind me of those beauty days we never had the privilege to see.
J'adore la petite maison dans la prairie, c'est une série merveilleuse avec des acteurs merveilleux. Je suis heureuse de pouvoir voir le vrai album de famille. Merci beaucoup. Une éternelle fan de France🇨🇵💝
Wow wunderschön gemacht. Es war sicher viel Arveit es so hinzubekommen, ich liebe Unsere kleine Farm und kann mich nicht Sattsehen🥰. Einen Einblick ins Leben der wirklichen Laura zu sehen war so Gänsehaut.
im 53. as kid (and now, reruns!) I watched show, read books. felt quite jealous of their lives, and time period they got to live in. your compilation is AWESOME
I think, there not need to be jealous of their lives or the time periode they lived in. It was a very hard time for poor people. The live in the Tv Show was romanticized.
I would never feel jelous of any woman living in those times. They had no modern washing machines, no legal rights to speak of and lets face it, no way to help make childbirth less painful. I prefer todays modern times.
Sirry Kr washing machines? Good lord🙄. aside from childbirth being less painful, they had no modern medicine, and a LOT of mothers died in childbirth, and kids died of things we just run to the doctors for. I knew an old woman who’s little boy died from strep throat when he was 5. And another who died from measles. Kids, get your children vaccinated. For 20,000 years, they’ve been praying for something to stop this. Now we have it.🤷♀️
I love RUclips! As a child I had all the books and I loved the series so much. But I never thought in my wildest dreams in my mid-50s I’d be able to see real pictures of them! How cool
I saw this film series in 1978, since I was 5 years old but I remember clearly cause in my country at that time no private TV station, except the only one government owned TV station. The show was on every sunday at 12.00pm. Thanks God, many memories at that time. I don't know if it based on a real life story until just now I saw it again on private TV station...then I search the internet to know more. Thanks the internet creator, youtube...and you....so I could remember and know the past. Tribute to Laura Ingalls.
Great tribute! TV show based on book series, one of my favorite as a young girl. "Pictures definitely worth a thousand words", these pics tell the very difficult life of young pioneers and people aged even though young. We are blessed because they went before us and were the trailblazers.
Pictures of that era always frightened me as a child. Idk why but I found them odd Even though, I still ty so very much for posting this tribute. I will always remember and be grateful to have watched the series and read the books. They are and always will be an important part of history, whether certain groups want to erase history or not. They cannot erase memories or truth. God bless you for this. And God bless America 🇺🇸
I used to find pictures from this time period a little eerie too. It was around this time that the first cameras that took actual photos were invented. But they were very slow to operate. I think it was this way up to the 1920s. People can't hold a smile for long without their mouths hurting, even today, and since we have smart phones that take a picture in a flash, it's so easy to get great cheerful photos. There is another theory I've heard about: in those days, since photography was so new, it was reserved for special portraits and family pictures, and somehow, to smile was considered "unrefined" for a special occasion. In one of Laura's books, she says that on Sundays, the family did not smile at all, on the way to church, or during the sermon. I don't understand that, but that is how people believed you should behave on Sundays. They were people, they laughed, had fun with friends. They just lived in a different time. I want to see Rocky Ridge Farm soon. I don't live very far from there.
@@LauraSusanJohnson I remember reading in the first book that she and Mary wern't allowed to play or shout or laugh on Sundays. Then later in the chapter Pa was telling Laura about her grandfather and her great uncles got their butts whooped out in the toolshed because they went sledding on Sunday.
My sixth grade teacher use to read it to the class after lunch everyday and I read the books to my 3 daughters for years every night at bed time... thank you soo very, very much for the lovely tribute..
Don't know if any one knows this but Neilie ownes moved to Portland Oregon married and had three children. Her brother went blind from a fireworks accident. Marry power and her husband moved to Bellingham Washington. She and Laura never saw each other again.
Quite by accident while my husband was stationed in South Dakota, we decided to stop in a little town called Desmet. There is a little house there where the Ingalls lived while Pa, I believed worked as a surveyor. The entire town just happened to be celebrating the day we visited and the town put on a play from On the Shores of Silver Lake. We also toured a local cemetery where the Ingalls are buried. I'd be interest in knowing where their decedents are today. Her stories brought great joy to me. Thanks for putting faces to the names.
Whoever you are, thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us! I so enjoyed the show Little aHouse On The Prairie when I was growing up as well as the books. These pictures just make it even more real to me!
Looking at these photos made me so aware of the fact that no matter where you reach back in history, we all come here (are born) to experience life, and with that comes love, loss, and so much more. These photos remind us that they were real people, with families and childhoods and dreams and struggles. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for putting this video together. A lot of folks don't know that Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family were real people. And that the TV show was based on the whole series of books written by Laura about her life growing up. I loved the books as a kid, and they are great for adults too. You can always check them out of your local library. I liked her books much better than the TV series.
It's a shame that people don't know they were real, and also that so many comments refer to the TV show only, as if the series of books never existed. I loved those books and read them each many times, beginning when I was about 7 years old. Everyone who enjoyed looking at these photos should try to read the books, if they have time...and get the set for their kids to read. The description of life, family, hardships and happy times in the 1800s is a pure delight.
Thank you for sharing the real life of the Ingalls history. I never knew it was actually a true stories. However the real life does not appeared they were poor at all. They look like a middle class family from that time.
these were my favorite books when i was younger and the memories are forever with me. I love you Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was encouraged as an immigrant by your novels. You will forever have a major impact on my life. I have read your novels multiple times!
I live about 30 minutes away from Laura's house in Mansfield MO. It's wonderful...they have a museum with Pa's fiddle, Laura's original handwrtten manuscripts, and all kind of things mentioned in the books. The best part, though, is being able to walk through her house, which is as she left it, including the organ.

On my bucket list! I was obsessed with her books when I was in 5th grade, many moons ago.
Thank you so much for sharing all these pictures I watch Little House on the Prairie every day me and my family. Love the Show
.. I will watch it as long as I have it on and wherever it comes on at thank you so much again and all the players that played these people they were all great actors and actresses
Laura was very pretty even when she was an older woman. loved Little House sucha wonderful show, nothing like it today on TV.
Mary looks as she may have visited the others side ,If you know what I mean.

Traci Lay Rose would have been shocked beyond words, as the show has absolutely nothing to do with Laura's real life.

I am watching Little House now. It's a wonderful show - you can tell a lot of love went into it.
Toda mi vida mirando La familia Ingalls.Una serie incomparable que llega a lo profundo del alma. Gracias por el video .♥️
I watched the show all the time. Now I see the real people. Thank you VERY much.
Loved seeing the pictures. Thank you. Loved the books. Begged my parents for the boxed set as a child. It cost 11.00. We did not have much money but they bought them for me anyway. I was and still am thankful. I've read them over and over and also loaned them out to my nieces. But I always make sure they come back to me.
Love this. A real trip down memory lane. Use to watch this as a kid.
Pure escapism in England every Sunday afternoon. Great entertainment for all the family. Some great role models, Where are good role models for young minds today?. I can't help to think about Michael Lambdon while watching. His warmth and spirtuality come across to me.R..I P. those who have sadly passed away. Thank you so much for a wonderful historical documentation, and insight into. Laura's family and life.
Loved the show, read all the books. Thanks for posting these wonderful pictures.
And in my opinion, Laura deserves to keep her literary awards. The stories she told were true to the history of the time.
Again thank you.

Steph G , I appreciate your comment. Ms. Wilder is one of the great treasures of American literature. If not for her, millions of us would know nothing of the lives of American children of pioneers after the civil war. This is some more politically correct gobbledegook which means nothing. Thank you!
YES! Absolutely!
There is a direct descendant of Laura Ingalls who lives in Riverton, Wyoming. I helped build his house and remarked to the man I was working with that since we were getting close to being through with the house (and because the high desert where we were building the house looked a lot like the country in the movie series) I jokingly told him that we should get a welcome mat that said "Welcome to the little house on the prairie". He startled me when he replied that the man we were building the house for - J. Ingalls - was a direct descendant of Laura Ingalls Wilder. You could have blown me away! And his wife (a lady from Germany) told me in conversation one day that she used to watch "Little House on the Prairie" every day when she was a little girl in Germany and never dreamed that she would one day marry into the Ingalls family. Small world!
Laura has no direct descendants. Relatives, yes, but her daughter only ever had one stillbirth and no living children.
She can't have any direct descendant, her daughter never had any living children. Also any descendant would not be an Ingalls because her married name was Wilder.
Wow! what an amazing story!! Thank you for sharing.
He must have been a direct descendant of the Ingalls family but not of Laura (whose descendants had there been any, would not have been called Ingalls). Charles ingalls had about 5 brothers so there must be a few descendants.
That man may have thelast name of Ingalls. But he’s probably feeding all a line. Just because his last name is Ingalls doesn’t make him any kin to the real Laura Ingalls Wilder. Or a direct ascendant either, because Ingalls is Laura’s maiden name. And Wilder is get her married last name. Duh!! If he is a direct ascendant of the Ingalls family it would be from Charles Ingalls side of the family.
Best show on television. I wish I lived in Walnut Grove
I always loved Little on the prairie and to find out they are distant cousins of mine puts the icing on the cake !
Laura was very pretty, even as a young girl, and Almonzo too. Love 💕 Little House!
I loved and read all Laura ingalls wilders books growing up and watched the series on tv just loved all of it thank you so much for sharing
So did I. I loved those books so much. I was thrilled when the TV series started. I couldn't believe I was actually going to get a chance to see all about the prairie. 🤗
I have loved and I love this wonderful story. The little house in the prairie is a fantastic part of my life. I happily saw this serial and it reminds me the nice little mountain village where I spent my happy childhood.
Thank you for posting. Excellent.
Boy do those pictures bring back wonderful memories of so many funny and exciting stories! I have actually read through the entire series SIX times, plus Laura’s last book of her personal diary. As a child, while growing up I read through the entire series four times. Because I was so in love with Laura’s stories that I also introduced the collection to my eldest daughter, now 36, when she was little of whom I read the entire series. The last time I read them to my youngest daughter, now 21. I’ve since lost track of the collection I once had but I’m now tempted to see if I might be able to locate the entire collection again. I would love to start reading them to my nearly 5 year old granddaughter. 😊🎀📚📚
I have never missed an opportunity to see them. I have always been in love with Laura.
This is a wonderful video, the best I have ever seen! So many pictures I have never seen and a few even colorized, that was a real treat! Many happy memories of growing up with the books and show in the 70's and I still have the books today and entire DVD series!
This is great!!! Felt so nostalgic hearing again the soundtrack of Little House on the Prairie decades after .
Thank you for all the beautyfull orginal Pictures of my favorite series !!! Nelly was very beautyfull.... And sorry my English is bad !
Little House On The Prairie was one of my favorite TV shows growing up. I still watch episodes and brings back all sorts of good memories. This is a heart warming video. Thanks for sharing!
Brings back so many memories! Thank you!
I read her books when I was a little girl. I love watching the series. I still cry when little Laura gets her heart broke.
Absolutely loved little house on the prairie. I watched every single one of the episodes xxx
I watched little house on the prairie when I was a kid and loved it.
I’m usually not aggressive about spelling but the word prairie is spelled
p-r-a-i-r-i-e
@@potato-phobia85yearsago27 so sorry😔. And thank you.
No need to be agressive. Just correct me with love. It suits you more "cuddly kitty" 😉
What an amazing life! And to be able to relive it with them!, who else felt like you were born in the wrong century?
I grew up watching Little House On The Prairie!.Just loved that show so many lessons learned!
I LOVE Little House on the Prairie! ALWAYS lifted up my spirits and made me humble.
This is what the kids these days need to be watching. Teaches good lessons.
You are so right
Not sure about the Nellie thing about the book writting but here's something funny. We live on a farm and my daughter named all her chickens. one of them is named Nellie she is the chicken yard bullie so it's fits her well. lol
So your telling me that kids should be watching Mrs Garvey and Mary's baby being burned alive in the 6th season?
Come on ,kids theses days watch much worse.. Wake up, and smell the coffee. The Internet is one big dark hwy.. Your nit picking like the rest of the people on the Internet. There's always going to be one. I was younger and I watched it. It teaches values and how to be humble. Something this world lacks greatly. And by the way my children and grandchildren love Little House On The Prairie .
This was and still is one of my favorite TV shows. Loved the books also
Thank you so very much for these wonderful photo's.
I wonder where she got them?
You wouldn’t think a boy born in 79 would love this show so much growing up however, I love it!
I still watch all the reruns. Love watching them .
Me too. I just watched the marathon yesterday. I started tuning in early in the morning & stayed up until 1 in the morning. I watch it all week long too. I hate missing my favorite show. I became obsessed. I collect antiques cause they remind me of those beauty days we never had the privilege to see.
I read the books so many times as a young girl! I just loved them 🥰
J'adore la petite maison dans la prairie, c'est une série merveilleuse avec des acteurs merveilleux.
Je suis heureuse de pouvoir voir le vrai album de famille.
Merci beaucoup.
Une éternelle fan de France🇨🇵💝
Wow wunderschön gemacht.
Es war sicher viel Arveit es so hinzubekommen, ich liebe Unsere kleine Farm und kann mich nicht Sattsehen🥰.
Einen Einblick ins Leben der wirklichen Laura zu sehen war so Gänsehaut.
Wow. Royal, Almonzo, and Perley Day.
And we think today's names are strange.
Love the books, and enjoyed the show. Laura was so pretty.
Just beautiful pictures!!!!
Oh, I loved this serie! ❤️
im 53. as kid (and now, reruns!) I watched show, read books. felt quite jealous of their lives, and time period they got to live in.
your compilation is AWESOME
I think, there not need to be jealous of their lives or the time periode they lived in. It was a very hard time for poor people. The live in the Tv Show was romanticized.
the show was fiction had very little accuracy to their real lives
I would never feel jelous of any woman living in those times. They had no modern washing machines, no legal rights to speak of and lets face it, no way to help make childbirth less painful. I prefer todays modern times.
Sirry Kr washing machines? Good lord🙄. aside from childbirth being less painful, they had no modern medicine, and a LOT of mothers died in childbirth, and kids died of things we just run to the doctors for. I knew an old woman who’s little boy died from strep throat when he was 5. And another who died from measles. Kids, get your children vaccinated. For 20,000 years, they’ve been praying for something to stop this. Now we have it.🤷♀️
@@wenesdae Yes
I've always loved little house ,couldn't wait to get home frm school so I could see it!!!
It still shows on cozy TV and I love to come home after school to wait it at 3:00pm I love little house so much
@Ireland Forever Mondays at 8pm on CBS.
Thanks for uploading this rare photos of the Ingall family. I loved it.
I love RUclips! As a child I had all the books and I loved the series so much. But I never thought in my wildest dreams in my mid-50s I’d be able to see real pictures of them! How cool
I saw this film series in 1978, since I was 5 years old but I remember clearly cause in my country at that time no private TV station, except the only one government owned TV station. The show was on every sunday at 12.00pm. Thanks God, many memories at that time.
I don't know if it based on a real life story until just now I saw it again on private TV station...then I search the internet to know more.
Thanks the internet creator, youtube...and you....so I could remember and know the past. Tribute to Laura Ingalls.
This was nice seeing the real people of this book. I read the whole series when I was a kid, loved it then and love it now. Thanks for posting.
Great tribute! TV show based on book series, one of my favorite as a young girl. "Pictures definitely worth a thousand words", these pics tell the very difficult life of young pioneers and people aged even though young. We are blessed because they went before us and were the trailblazers.
Pictures of that era always frightened me as a child. Idk why but I found them odd
Even though, I still ty so very much for posting this tribute. I will always remember and be grateful to have watched the series and read the books. They are and always will be an important part of history, whether certain groups want to erase history or not. They cannot erase memories or truth. God bless you for this. And God bless America 🇺🇸
I used to find pictures from this time period a little eerie too. It was around this time that the first cameras that took actual photos were invented. But they were very slow to operate. I think it was this way up to the 1920s. People can't hold a smile for long without their mouths hurting, even today, and since we have smart phones that take a picture in a flash, it's so easy to get great cheerful photos. There is another theory I've heard about: in those days, since photography was so new, it was reserved for special portraits and family pictures, and somehow, to smile was considered "unrefined" for a special occasion. In one of Laura's books, she says that on Sundays, the family did not smile at all, on the way to church, or during the sermon. I don't understand that, but that is how people believed you should behave on Sundays. They were people, they laughed, had fun with friends. They just lived in a different time. I want to see Rocky Ridge Farm soon. I don't live very far from there.
@@LauraSusanJohnson I remember reading in the first book that she and Mary wern't allowed to play or shout or laugh on Sundays. Then later in the chapter Pa was telling Laura about her grandfather and her great uncles got their butts whooped out in the toolshed because they went sledding on Sunday.
Same. Creeps me out
Talk about a lecture, geez...
They frighten me now!! Its partly because they didn't smile.
Loved this, thank you for posting!
My sixth grade teacher use to read it to the class after lunch everyday and I read the books to my 3 daughters for years every night at bed time... thank you soo very, very much for the lovely tribute..
Thank you so much..they are zhe heroes of my childhood..and i actually watch them.right now on german tv again..love the series and read the books
Very nice! Thanks for sharing a part of our past! I grew up watching Little House! I even had Laura's books as well!
Don't know if any one knows this but Neilie ownes moved to Portland Oregon married and had three children. Her brother went blind from a fireworks accident. Marry power and her husband moved to Bellingham Washington. She and Laura never saw each other again.
Thanks a lot. I always wonder who the real Laura Wilder Ingels was. I grow up with the TV show and still love to watch it.
Quite by accident while my husband was stationed in South Dakota, we decided to stop in a little town called Desmet. There is a little house there where the Ingalls lived while Pa, I believed worked as a surveyor. The entire town just happened to be celebrating the day we visited and the town put on a play from On the Shores of Silver Lake. We also toured a local cemetery where the Ingalls are buried. I'd be interest in knowing where their decedents are today. Her stories brought great joy to me. Thanks for putting faces to the names.
I love it, I watch this everyday. and to see the real family of Laura Ingall's is a amazing. I love the family tree of her family.
That was a nice presentation Thank you for sharing.
Whoever you are, thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us! I so enjoyed the show Little aHouse On The Prairie when I was growing up as well as the books. These pictures just make it even more real to me!
Almonzo was quite the handsome man! I can see Laura fighting for him! LOL!
Me tool. LOL.
Me too😂😂😂
Thank you for sharing these pictures! Loved them ❤
Laura was really pretty. And Almonzo was a hunk. Love the show, especially when Laura and Nellie went at it
Same lol
Looking at these photos made me so aware of the fact that no matter where you reach back in history, we all come here (are born) to experience life, and with that comes love, loss, and so much more. These photos remind us that they were real people, with families and childhoods and dreams and struggles. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for putting this video together. A lot of folks don't know that Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family were real people. And that the TV show was based on the whole series of books written by Laura about her life growing up. I loved the books as a kid, and they are great for adults too. You can always check them out of your local library. I liked her books much better than the TV series.
It's a shame that people don't know they were real, and also that so many comments refer to the TV show only, as if the series of books never existed. I loved those books and read them each many times, beginning when I was about 7 years old. Everyone who enjoyed looking at these photos should try to read the books, if they have time...and get the set for their kids to read. The description of life, family, hardships and happy times in the 1800s is a pure delight.
wow i am surprised so many peopke didnt know that laura was a real person must be under 30 the books are all over school libraries
Loved Little House on the Prairie. Always watched. Thanks for sharing these pictures. I never seen them. Thanks again😊
This was so awesome! I grew up watching the TV show. I've never seen these pics before. So great to have real faces to put with the people.
Thank you for sharing the real life of the Ingalls history. I never knew it was actually a true stories. However the real life does not appeared they were poor at all. They look like a middle class family from that time.
Wow, many in that family had striking light colored eyes, especially Pa and Laura..
these were my favorite books when i was younger and the memories are forever with me. I love you Laura Ingalls Wilder. I was encouraged as an immigrant by your novels. You will forever have a major impact on my life. I have read your novels multiple times!
Thanks for posting these pictures. Many I had never seen before!
Thank you!!! I just loved her books as a child and also the TV show- those were the days!!!
