I also highly recommend The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder Documentary dvd (linked to my review) and Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura. These are longer documentaries, full of details. Consider purchasing the DVDs from one of the Laura Ingalls Wilder homesites.
Learn more about the real people and places of the Little House books in my book, The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion: A Chapter-by-Chapter Guide. It's full of history, discussion, and photographs. It also includes 75 Little House-inspired games, activities, and recipes so kids can "Live Like Laura."
