Little House on the Prairie is an American one-hour dramatic television program that aired on the NBC network from September 11, 1974, to March 21, 1983, bumping the long-running Adam-12 series to Tuesday nights. During the 1982-83 television season, with the departure of Michael Landon, the series was broadcast with the new title Little House: A New Beginning. A three-hour compilation special called The Little House Years was aired in 1979. (The series itself was preceded by a two-hour pilot movie that first aired on March 30, 1974).

The show was a loose adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s best-selling series of Little House on the Prairie books. Readers of the books will notice huge discrepancies between the book series and the shows.

"Little House on the Prairie" follows the lives of the simple, farming Ingalls family: Charles, Caroline, Mary, Laura, Carrie and then Grace and the later adopted Albert, James and Cassandra, who settle into a quaint little house on the banks of Plum Creek near the small town of Walnut Grove during the late 1800s. Often narrated by Laura, the series follows her simple farm upbringing from her childhood until her adulthood with Almanzo Wilder with whom she starts a family of her own. While the series is based upon the Little House books (and thus the real life of author Laura Ingalls Wilder), it is a very loose adaptation, with mostly only key events and elements of fact surviving the transition from book to TV series, the most important being Mary's eventual blindness, and Laura's future. Several other fictitious (some factual) characters make up the friendly community of Walnut Grove, including teacher Miss Beadle (succeeded by two other teachers, then Laura, then Etta Plum), Dr. Hiram Baker, Rev. Robert Alden, Mr. Hanson (of the Hanson lumber mill), and the well-to-do Olesons, owners of the local mercantile, and also the primary rivals of the Ingalls family (except the Oleson patriarch). Family friends include the Edwards family, the Garvey family and the Carters, who, in the final season, move into the Ingalls' little house.

" The Story of Ingalls

A series of children's books - Little House (on the Prairie) - by Laura Ingalls Wilder was initially printed in years 1932-1943. An extra 4 books were published after her death in the following years: 1962, 1971, 1974 and 2006. Story starts with Pa Ingalls, who chooses to trade his house in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, and switch to Indian Territory near Independence, Kansas, because there were many rumors that the land (which was still under the ownership of Osage) would be available for clearance by homesteaders close at hand.

Laura, in accompaniment with Ma and Pa, Mary and baby Carrie, proceeds to Kansas. On their way to Kansas, Pa in an equal exchange to his two horses, get two Western mustangs; Marry and Laura name the mustangs Pet and Patty.

On the arrival in Indian Territory, they get to meet Mr. Edwards, who is particularly nice to Ma, but he introduces himself to Laura and Mary as a “wild cat from Tennessee.” Mr. Edward is a splendid person who lives next door and helps the Ingalls in every possible way he can. In the start, he helps Pa build their house.

After that, Pa constructs the roof and floor for their house, excavates a well, and the family eventually inhabit it. At the same time, Ingalls’ family is caught with a very awful infection which was called, at that time, “fever ‘n’ Ague” (in which the affected person feels very cold and shaky) and was later recognized as malaria.

Mrs. Scott, who was also living next door, helped them a lot when they were infected with that disease. On the occasion of Christmas, Mr. Edwards gets presents from Independence, in the season of spring, for Mary and Laura. Ingalls start setting up the groundwork for a small farm. As the book ends, the family leaves the land because only pioneers can live there and it was not open to reimbursement yet.

Pa chooses to leave the land because army can use force to remove him from the land. In the next book, entitled On the Banks of Plum Creek, they have moved to Minnesota.

Most of the things that happen in the book are very close to reality and actually happen to the Ingalls family in their mode of living at that time. The happenings are told to Laura by Ma, Pa and her sister " Mary " on the whole extent of years. Laura was very young; actually 2 to 3 and half years old, when her family was living in Indian Territory between the years of 1876-1870. As she was so young, she couldn’t recollect the happenings of those years. That’s why she did a very thorough enquiry on this book, unlike any other books she wrote, just to ensure that all the facts are correct.

In the book, she represents herself as six to seven years old, but she starts the sequence when she was four to five years old (the time when her family comes back from Kansas to Wisconsin), however, she desired to write the second book chronologically after the first.

In fact, she was born in Indian territory in August 1870 (as noted in their family Bible), but in the book, she represents herself as baby Carrie, when they make their trip to Indian territory with the family, just before the family left to come back to Wisconsin. In her fourth book, On the Banks of Plum Creek, she (Laura) is telling her age in an accurate manner and many of the events as well, as they truly occured.
