Title: One of the first Biographies of an amazing author
Product review: I was interested to read through several of the reviews of this book. This was the first biography of Laura Wilder that I'd read (other than Anderson's booklet "The Story of the Ingalls") and I was fascinated to learn all the little details that Donald Zochert had found. As I understand it, he took a lot of his stories straight from Laura's unpublished first manuscript, Pioneer Girl, which makes it doubly interesting. Although the book has several inaccuracies, it was the first biography done on LIW, and has several bits of information that aren't easily found elsewhere. It's a must read for Laura fans, IMO (although I could do without the cheesy cover art, especially the ridiculous pictures on the back cover!). It's very enjoyable and easy to read. It fits in nicely between the geared for children "Laura Ingalls Wilder" by Anderson, and the more scholarly "Becoming Laura Ingalls Wilder" by Miller (both also excellent reads).
