The Rare Book Collection of the Detroit Public Library has the hand-written (on yellow notebooks) manuscripts of several of the Little House books! I plan on going there one day and just looking at them! Laura Ingalls Wilder Collection Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of childrens books about pioneer life in the United States, presented pictures and drawings as well as the manuscripts for The Long Winter and These Happy Golden Years to the Detroit Public Library. These, along with her many published books, are now available for research. There is also a branch of that library named after her: The Wilder Branch was named after Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of many childrens stories of pioneer life. Initially, a temporary branch location on Seven Mile Road opened on May 12, 1949. The current location opened on February 6, 1967. The exterior court displays a metal wall sculpture by Narendra Patel, which was inspired by the book The Little House in the Big Woods. Mrs. Wilder donated manuscripts of The Long Winter and These Happy Golden Years along with photographs and other documents to the Library.
