"The Little House series (also known as "Laura Years") was written by Laura Ingalls Wilder and based on decades-old memories of her childhood in the Midwest region of the United States during the late 19th century. The best-known of the books is Little House on the Prairie, first published in 1935. The books are told in the third person, with Laura Ingalls acting as the central character. This second photo shows where the homestead was in the "Little House in the Big Woods" Pepin, Wisconsin. The log cabin shown here is a remade of the original cabin.

During the 1982-83 television season, the series was broadcast with the new title Little House: A New Beginning.

The show was a loose adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder's best-selling series of Little House on the Prairie books. Michael Landon starred as Charles Ingalls, Karen Grassle played Caroline Ingalls, Melissa Gilbert played Laura Ingalls, Melissa Sue Anderson played Mary Ingalls, and the twins Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush (credited as Lindsay Sidney Greenbush) played Carrie. Although it deviated from the original books in some respects, the television series, which was set in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, was one of the few long-running successful dramatic family shows (and still it is in syndication). Although predominantly a drama, the program did have some comedic moments, thanks to supporting cast members such as Mr. Edwards (played by Victor French) and the Oleson family: Nels Oleson (Richard Bull), Harriet Oleson (Katherine MacGregor), Willie Oleson (Jonathan Gilbert), and Nellie Oleson (Alison Arngrim).

Little House on the Prairie was largely filmed on Big Sky Ranch at Simi Valley, California, not in Minnesota. Camera vistas sometimes pick up the rugged terrain, which is too mountainous for Minnesota. In one particular episode Laura runs away and climbs up a mountain. However, there were no mountains on the prairie! Nevertheless, the oak savanna is considered to be representative of the real Walnut Grove."

Dear Little House on the Prairie Fans,

I am writing to you in behalf of your Heavenly Father. He is seeking you like a lost sheep. You remember the Bible story? It is about a shepherd who has 100 sheep. But when he brings the sheep home one night, one is missing. He then leaves the 99 sheep and goes out into the wilderness until he finds that lost sheep.

In this parable the shepherd goes out to search for the one lost sheep-the very least that can be numbered. So if there had been but one lost soul, Christ would have died for that one. To read more click Lost Sheep
