    Thanks for offering this site. My sister and her husband live in SD. They took a trip a few years back to one of the Ingalls homesteads’ sites (where Pa planted a Cottonwood tree, I believe, for each member of their family). My sister found a leaf on the ground and sent it to me in Maryland. I still have that leaf.
    My 5th grade teacher, Mrs Crowley, first introduced the class to the Little House books. I bought the set of 9 books decades ago BUT I just downloaded one on my Kindle.

      They might not have had a high school yet. Laura didn’t go to high school. Most kids left after 8th grade. Some stayed in school. Laura was 15. Left to teach. LAura had been 8n the one room school house. There were not that many students in school. I’ve been I’m that schoolhouse, about 4 rows of desks

    Very interesting and informative article about Carrie Ingalls! I read several of the Little House on the Prairie books when I was a kid and watched the TV show too. I was really fascinated about Mary Ingalls because of Melissa Sue Anderson’s portrayal of her as being blind. I wrote a fan letter to her and she sent me a reply letter with an 8×10 signed photo of her. I think I was around 7 or 8. It was really thrilling to me get that letter and signed photo from her. As an adult, I have rewatched the Little House episodes on Hallmark in recent years. A few weeks ago, I saw the Christmas episode where they were snowed in. It reminded me of The Long Winter book, so I decided to do some online research about the locations mentioned in the books and found this website. I am from Yankton, SD but now live in Phoenix, AZ. I always found it fascinating that the Little House books were set in South Dakota and other Midwest states. I did not know that Carrie had lived in the Keystone area as a reporter for so many years. That is really cool that she has been honored by the Keystone community and her work featured by the local museum.

    Kendra Morales, not sure IF their are no descendents because Ma and Pa had brothers and sisters. Unless you meant the core family. Just a thought.

    Reply

    • Tanya McCordon June 6, 2021 at 1:44 pm

      I was thinking the same thing. Pa’s brother Peter had kids. He married Ma’s sister, Eliza. Also, Polly Ingalls (Pa’s sister) married Ma’s brother , Henry Quiner and they had kids. So there should be descendants there.

    I loved the Ingalls family in “Little House on the Prairie” and the “Little House” books. I watched it on T.V. as a child. My daughters watch the DVDs. What absolutely breaks my heart is that there are no direct descendants; the family has died out. Breaks my heart. They were such a wonderful, Christian family, and I wish there were some of their offspring left.

      Well there may not be a true blood line, but Carrie helped her husband raise two step-children from an early age. They very much considered each other as family!!! The daughter Mary Elezabeth Swanzey, grew up to be & raise a large good christian family of her own, with 14 children, rich in their own fascinating history. Mary Swanzey’s brother Harold was killed in a tragic car accident as a young adult before having the chance to start a family.

      My name is Nancy ingalls gallugi, I live in Massachusetts where Carrie ingalls direct descendent Francis ingalls came from England with his brother Edmund ingalls to Lynn Massachusetts in the 1600’s. . I am a direct descendant of Edmund ingalls; which makes us cousins.
      I think my calculations are correct in saying that I am a fourteen generation of Edmund. Carrie’s direct descendant is Francis ingalls. Francis and Edmund were the first settlers in Lynn/swampscott and Saugus Massachusetts. Edmund is buried in Lynn Massachusetts. I don’t know we’re Francis is buried. They came after the mayflower, the research I did said they were granted land by the powers of England and were accepted by the Indians, it is recorded they worked well together.,
      I also have a 40yr old daughter whose name is Carrie ingalls gallugi.
      I would love to hear from anyone who would like me to do more research about the ingalls family…my siblings live in Massachusetts. My fathers name was John Palmer ingalls Jr and I have two sisters and one brother, John Palmer ingalls III, he had one son and to our knowledge he is the last Edmund direct descendant to carry in the name.,
      Please reach out,

    When my Language Arts teacher in 8th grade found out how much I love to read; she introduced me to TLHOTP series. A one time I owned every one of her books. Then in 1994 my mother was diagnosed with cancer and she took to reading them. So in my life I have owned everyone of her books twice, and today I don’t have one. I let them all get away from me.
    Thank You, Miss Kennedy, LA Department, Arvada Jr. High School, Arvada, Co 8th grade for opening up this wonderful world. I wonder often what happened to you.

    Carrie was not the baby in Little House in the Big Woods. Carrie hadn’t been born yet.
    The Keystone Historical Museum hosts an event annually on August 3rd to celebrate
    Carrie’s birthday.
    Harrold, Carrie’s stepson, worked for a very short time on Mount Rushmore. With his
    total time adding up to be less than a year.

    • Valerieon August 3, 2017 at 10:57 am

      This is a little confusing, but bear with me:
      Laura was born in “the big woods,” and the family moved to Kansas when she was around 2. Carrie was indeed born in the “little house in the prairie.” Then, when the family was forced to leave Kansas, they moved back to the Big Woods for awhile. It is during this period that the events that she wrote about in “LHITBW” occurred…so Carrie would have been there then. In her books, Laura’s Ingalls Wilder didn’t write about the two times she lived in the Big Woods, just the second time. So, the progression in the books was from there to the prairie to Walnut Grove. It’s confusing, but she did take some liberties with time and place to make a coherent, easy to follow story. Hope this helps clear up confusion!

      They are old and worn but I would never part with them.
      I live in Long Island New York State and every year in December when our cold weather is unbareable I read the Long Hard Winter.
      Knowing what the Ingalls went through in all those months I know I can make it through our months.

      Unfortunately, there are no direct descendants of Charles and Caroline Ingalls. However, Charles came from a large family and they have many descendants, including me. In “Little in the Big Woods,” when the two Laura’s are arguing about which baby is prettier; that other baby is my great-grandmother Ruby Evaline Ingalls. I have grown up reading the books and learning what is true and what was made up or confused.

      I was blessed by having my wonderful teacher in fourth grade, Mrs. Isom, read the entire series of books to us throughout the year. Many of us in the class shed a tear when Laura and Almanzo married in “These Happy Golden Years.” Those were wonderful times and I am glad I was introduced to the books, have enjoyed reading them all these years and still do at age 65. One of my best school memories.

      I was just wondering if NBC would ever do a reunion special featuring whatever is left of the original cast from “Little House on the Prairie.”
      The place could be Walnut Grove in Minnesota and the time of course, would be the 1930’s just before WW-II. I can just see Melissa Gilbert reprising her roll as Laura Ingals Wilder.

I hope Adam didn’t leave her or die after he got his sight back! Also curious about Grace and all the adopted kids especially Albert. I have a feeling that Charles”PA” was a pretty strict dad and gives me that fire and brimstone feeling looking at him? Love finding this!

    My family and I immigrated from Norway to Oklahoma City where, as an avid reader, I discovered The Little House on the Prairie books. My best friend and I would sew period clothing for our dolls and pretend they were the characters in the stories. At the age of 9 I wrote a long (11 pages!) fan letter to Laura telling her about my family, my special friend and our love for her and her books! I received a letter in return from Laura’s daughter, Rose, informing me that sadly her mother had died just a couple of years before. We have read the books to our grandchildren and this summer took them to Mansfield, Mo to see Rocky Ridge Farm and the museum. It was wonderful to step back in time and touch base with Laura’s history.

    On thisday, several years ago we were there in Keystone for the Carrie Ingalls celebration. At the celebration I got to meet the last man living who had worked helping to create Mt. Rushmore. While visiting, I found out he knew my great uncle Lon, who also worked on the monument. In that visit, I found out my uncle Lon was very good friends with the owner of the newspaper, and that Carrie Ingalls Swanzey worked for the paper. Since my Uncle Lon hung out a great deal of time at the newspaper, we are left to surmise that he knew Carrie, who worked there. Being a HUGE Laura Ingalls fan and follower, it gives me great joy to think that one of my family members actually was acquainted with one of her family members!
    Happy Birthday, Carrie!

      I was living in the Netherlands, teaching at the American Air Force base, Camp New Amsterdam, (near Soesterberg) when the pilot movie aired on Dutch TV in two parts over two or three weeks. My second graders were treated to a marathon read aloud day by me so we would finish the book before the second half of the pot aired. The next day, we filled ALL the blackboard space available in our classroom noting the similarities and the differences between the book and TV pilot. That was my beginning of becoming a Lauraphile. Sadly, no other episodes were broadcast in the Netherlands at that time. I did catch up with reruns and my own children later.?

        Thank you for keeping these memories alive. Always watched the show on tv when I was little and continue to watch it now. A great way to relax when I get home from work! My son even gave me a complete season boxed set on DVDs as he said “just in case they take it off tv you won’t go through withdraw ” yes my son knows me well. Thanks for this site too

    I loved watching and reading about the Ingalls family; I found it ironic that “Carrie” passed away 3 days after I was born. I have a set of books about the whole family, that I will keep indefinitely, as I may want to read them, again. Wish they would put the programme back on TV in Canada; would love to watch it again!

      Carrie passed on the day I was born !!!!! We share something special as she was leaving I was arriving. Hope someone can answer this question, why did she care for Mary ? I have watched EVERY episode many many times and feel the casting of each Ingalls character was very good and helped to make it such a wonderful success. Believe it will be around when all who are living now are long gone and basically forgotten !! Great series

    I was a faithful watcher of Little House on the Prairie. I seldom missed it. It was my favorite show. It was also a good show for our 6 children. I miss it. Maybe some day I can see the actual house and if there is a museum I’d love to see it. Its too bad there are no descendants. As far as I know there aren’t any, or am I wrong?

    I love Little House on the Prairie. They show it on the Hallmark Channel.
