The third book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House series—now available as an ebook! This digital version features Garth Williams's classic illustrations, which appear in vibrant full color on a full-color device and in rich black-and-white on all other devices. The adventures continue for Laura Ingalls and her family as they leave their little house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin and set out for the big skies of the Kansas Territory. They travel for many days in their covered wagon until they find the best spot to build their house. Soon they are planting and plowing, hunting wild ducks and turkeys, and gathering grass for their cows. Just when they begin to feel settled, they are caught in the middle of a dangerous conflict. The nine Little House books are inspired by Laura's own childhood and have been cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into America's frontier history and as heartwarming, unforgettable stories.

Book Description
Pirates on the Prairie is a narrative documentary that chronicles the achievements of a remarkable group of athletes, the Pirates, who explode out of tiny Halstad, MN, population 500, in 1952, much to the amazement of the Minnesota media and fans who quickly learn to love them. Author, nurseryman, and American history lover Eric Bergeson, of Fertile, MN, carefully traces the development of Halstad¿s homegrown Pirates, their classmates, and families, while also bringing vividly to life the environment that nourishes them. Readers become part of the seemingly ordinary day-to-day dynamics in Halstad, from the home lives of the players to the play-by-play reports of their movements on the court¿and in the field. Gradually Pirates of the Prairie answers its fundamental question¿how did this happen? What enabled this particular group of boys, at this time, in this place, to perform the large- than-life feats that earned them third place in the 1952 Minnesota state boys basketball tournament and first in the 1953 state baseball tournament¿both against much larger, big-city schools? As excitement builds and hopes grow stronger, readers learn about¿or recall¿life in small-town America, when communities worked hands-on together to support and develop their children. At the same time, we detect a foreboding undercurrent¿a realization that this will also be a story of loss. For Pirates of the Prairie also documents a profound change in rural American culture that those with small-town roots still feel today.
