Pa trades his horses Pet and Patty to the property owner (a man named Hanson) for the land and crops, but later gets two new horses as Christmas presents for the family, which Laura and her sister Mary name "Sam" and "David". Laura and Mary go to school for the first time at Barry Corner School, where they meet their teacher, Miss Eva Beadle, and befriend Christy and Cassie Kennedy. Laura plays with her bulldog Jack when she is home, and she and Mary are invited to a party at the Olesons' home. Laura and Mary invite all the girls (including Nellie) to a party at their house to reciprocate. The family soon goes through hard times when a plague of Rocky Mountain locusts, or grasshoppers, devastates their crops.
Melissa Gilbert (Laura Ingalls Wilder)
The liberal movement considers it their show because we were telling the stories of the 1970s. I think it resonates because it speaks to everyone on their level. And the stories we told, many of them were very, very, very rough. We didn't tell exploitively, we told honestly, and from a place of compassion and understanding, and I think that is impactful for people. The book is notable as being the first in which Laura's age is historically accurate.

(In 1880 she would have been 13, as she states in the first chapter.) However, Almanzo Wilder's age is misrepresented. Much is made of the fact that he is 19 pretending to be 21 in order to obtain a homestead claim from the US government. Scholar Ann Romines has suggested that Laura made Almanzo younger because it was felt that more modern audiences would be scandalized by the great difference in their ages in light of the fact that they married. Finally, the trains begin running again, bringing the Ingalls family a Christmas barrel full of good things – including a turkey.
Family Fun
With help from Charles, Jonathan catches the ringleaders, but then Andy is beaten up by the gang, and the repercussions lead to a violent and tragic outcome. In this three-hour special, the Ingalls family spends Thanksgiving reminiscing their past years in Walnut Grove (via clips from previous episodes). Mary needs more surgery, something that weighs heavily on Charles' mind as he feverishly works to earn enough money for his daughter's surgery.
The Television Mini-Series
I look back now, and I see what a blessing it was because he was so gentle and careful and cautious dealing with the 15-year-old me. Or as my friend Chris Czajka said, the child with the hairy legs because I didn't even shave my legs yet and he was shaving his whole face at this point. I think that had it been another actor, it could have been a very scary situation. I mean, I was nervous a lot of the time because I'm playing this woman who, at this age, fell in love and got married, but I was nowhere near that.

Many other filming locations were also used during the course of the series, including Old Tucson Studios and Sonora, California. Many of the exterior shots of Walnut Grove and the other Minnesota towns shown in the series include noticeable mountainous terrain in the background scenery. In reality, however, the southern Minnesota landscape where the show is supposed to take place includes no tall mountains.
Little House explored many different themes including frequently portrayed ones of adoption, alcoholism, faith, poverty, blindness, and prejudice of all types, including racism. Some plots also include subjects such as drug addiction (e.g. Albert's addiction to morphine), leukemia, child abuse, animal abuse, and even rape. Although predominantly a drama, the program has many lighthearted and comedic moments, as well. Of the 204 episodes, Michael Landon directed 87 episodes; producer William F. Claxton directed 68 episodes, while co-star Victor French helmed 18 episodes. Maury Dexter (who was often an assistant director) directed 21 episodes, and Leo Penn directed the remaining three episodes.

Albert then decides that his priority is his studies and that for him football should be for fun.

After Caroline complains about the small size of her kitchen, Charles decides to build an addition onto the house, but after starting the work he has to leave to take a rush delivery to Mankato. Caroline hires a handsome young handyman named Chris Nelson (Gil Gerard) to complete the job. Nellie and Mrs. Oleson don't help matters when they share Mary's suspicions.

Meanwhile, with Nellie's permission, Percival confronts his mother-in-law over her interference in their lives by her overprotectiveness of Nellie. The aftereffects caused her to go blind, and she was carrying Annie at the time of the sickness, who contracted them as well.
