Why is it being published now for the first time?
If Pioneer Girl had been published in one of these magazines, Wilder then hoped to sell Pioneer Girl to a book publisher. Such magazines published longer fiction and nonfiction in serial form. Wilder wrote Pioneer Girl for an adult audience, hoping for initial publication in a prominent national magazine of the period- The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal or Country Gentleman. What were Wilder’s intentions with this autobiography? Who was she writing for?
Editor Pamela Smith Hill explains why the book is finally being published and what it means for Little House fans. More than 80 years ago, Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote Pioneer Girl, an autobiography about growing up on the prairie.
