By the Shores of Silver Lake
Based on the real-life adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, By the Shores of Silver Lake is the fifth book in the award-winning Little House series, which has captivated generations of readers. This edition features the classic black-and-white artwork from Garth Williams.
The adventures of Laura Ingalls and her family continue as they move from their little house on the banks of Plum Creek to the wilderness of the unsettled Dakota Territory. Here Pa works on the new railroad until he finds a homestead claim that is perfect for their new little house. Laura takes her first train ride as she, her sisters, and their mother come out to live with Pa on the shores of Silver Lake. After a lonely winter in the surveyors' house, Pa puts up the first building in what will soon be a brand-new town on the beautiful shores of Silver Lake. The Ingallses' covered-wagon travels are finally over.
The nine books in the timeless Little House series tell the story of Laura’s real childhood as an American pioneer, and are cherished by readers of all generations. They offer a unique glimpse into life on the American frontier, and tell the heartwarming, unforgettable story of a loving family.

Several of the original (black-and-white) Little House books have been reformatted, and now feature life-like covers. Unfortunately, these editions do not include Garth William's charming illustrations. Thankfully, the books are once again being republished with the illustrations. At this time, all of the have been reprinted, again with illustrations and full-color illustrated covers.
The Ingalls are moving again! They have been through some difficult times for the farm and for the family, physically and financially, but now Pa has a wonderful offer out west, which he accepts. Pa heads out to the wilderness of the Dakota Territory, and the rest of the family follows a couple of months later. They become the first settlers in the new town of De Smet and Pa begins building in another new town on the shores of Silver Lake, but ultimately they are waiting until Pa finds the perfect homestead.
