They heard that the soil there was rich and the crops were bountiful--it was even called the Land of the Big Red Apple. With hopes of beginning a new life, the Wilders made their way to the Ozarks of Missouri.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring their journey, Laura kept a detailed diary of events: the cities they passed through, the travelers they encountered on the way, the changing countryside and the trials of an often difficult voyage.
