Laura's books record the everyday life of the American pioneer through a child's eyes -- her own. She writes of events and activities which were common knowledge in her day, but are little known today except by historians. Below, Frontier Girl offers several articles so that you can learn more about the things Laura experienced. We plan to add additional articles soon.
