Little House on The Prairie, Ch. 6: Moving In

Auryaun's Bedtime Stories

The family moves in to their newly-built log cabin on the prairie before there's even a proper roof. Pa feels more strongly than ever that he'll always want to live on this land. Pa decides the Big Woods have become too crowded, and moves the family to the High Prairie of Kansas. This book was the basis for the popular television show by the same name. There are themes in the book that describe attitudes that would be considered backward and racist today. It is not the intention to either highlight or censor these, but to let them stand as they are in the book, as a record of historical interest.
