For those who didn't know it.
When the Big Woods of Wisconsin becomes a difficult spot for
hunting, Charles Ingalls reluctantly decides to move his family to
Kansas's more open and fertile land. Leaving their beloved relatives
proves to be devastating, but the resiliency of the Ingalls spirit
reigns supreme as they head out in their covered wagon. Along the way,
Charles falls in love with the lush openness of the Indian Territory,
and he quickly settles there with his wife and three young daughters. A
kindly man named Isaiah Edwards helps Charles build a house, and Laura
develops an instant fondness for him, but Caroline takes longer to
accept his gruff nature. Joyous times are mixed with sad ones as the
family deals with wolves, Christmas celebrations, Indian encounters, new
births, fires, and above all, the unnerving realization that
maintaining a stable, permanent homestead is not as easy as it looks,
especially when they have decided to place their footprints on Native
American soil.
