Generations of children have fallen in love with the pioneer saga of the Ingalls family, of Pa and Ma, Laura and her sisters, and their loyal dog. Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books have taught millions of Americans about frontier life, giving inspiration to many and in the process becoming icons of our national identity. Yet few realize that this best-selling series wandered far from the actual history of the Ingalls family and from what Laura herself understood to be central truths about pioneer life.

Penned by Rose Wilder Lane - a renowned newspaper reporter, political activist, and daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder who authored the beloved Little House series - this intimate biography unveils the life of Henry Ford. Lane collaborates directly with Ford, chronicling his journey from birth to the establishment of the Ford Motor Company, and his revolutionary use of assembly lines for mass car production.
