This is the story of Almanzo Wilder as a child, who was the youngest of 4 children and he always wanted to be a farmer like his dad. None of his other 3 siblings became farmers only Almanzo.This book deals with Almanzo's life and all his chores and is an excellent picture of Farm life about 1850. Almanzo learns to take care of the animals and to gather maple syrup. His parents went on vacation for 2 weeks and left the 4 children ages 10-13 to run the farm in upper state New York. And they did. I am not sure how he met up with Laura later.
