And I did always enjoy Almanzo entering the story in The Long Winter. My thoughts: I must have read the original series a dozen times growing up. (I couldn't help but think of Almanzo hauling ice in the television show).

(Presumably based on stories he told his wife through the years.) I believe it covers roughly one year of his life. The book (fictionally) chronicles Almanzo Wilder's childhood. (The first book is Little House in the Big Woods). Premise/plot: Farmer Boy is the second book (technically) in the Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
