Laura Ingalls Wilder has achieved folk hero status thanks to her books. Based on her family’s travels as settlers in Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota from the 1860s through the 1880s, the novels are considered to be semi-autobiographical, even with her tweaking of dates, people and events. Reading the books, it’s hard to resist treating the stories as a true historical account. The detail is so rich that you’re on the prairies with her, bundled in furs during winter, or roasting in the summer sun in a full-sleeve dress.

Wilder’s reflections on her life experiences have spurred some scientists to use remarkable research techniques to clarify details from the books that seem a little too incredible. What have they discovered? https://bit.ly/4anuRAs
