In The End
Laura struggled for much of her life and only found success later. In just over a decade, she wrote eight books and continued writing, with many works published posthumously. The original Little House series’ final installment came out in 1943. Laura lived until 1957, often welcoming fans who visited her home.
Almanzo died eight years before her. He was 92. They still lived on Rocky Ridge Farm despite selling off large portions of the property. They liked to garden, and they kept some of their animals. After her husband’s death, Laura lived alone, with her community taking good care of her.
