Laura and Almanzo Wilder have just been married! Their life on a small prairie homestead begins with high hopes. But each year seems to bring unexpected disasters -- storms, sickness, fire, and unpaid debts. These first four years call for courage, strength, and a great deal of determination. Always, though, there is love, especially for the newest member of the family -- baby Rose. The First Four Years is the ninth and final book in the Laura Years series. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book was OK.This book the first four years is about a young couple who doesn't agree on being framers for a living. So they make a deal. The deal was that they would try out being farmers for 3 years then after the 3 years they would deside if they liked being a framer family. If they didn't like being framers then they would start a new life with a new job. If they did like being framers they would stick to it and be a happy family. The family goes through alot of trouble and they get a new member to the family. ...

In the first four years (for she allows Manly an extra to the original three) the couple sees weather disasters, serious illness, the birth of their daughter Rose, and a staggering amount of physical labor. Despite the difficulties, ...

Finally, as an adult - and even more a fan of Laura than I was young - I picked up this book to see what happened AFTER "happily ever after." Well, I frankly wish I hadn't. Perhaps it's better to have the truth than to buy into the sugar-coating, but it truly disappointed me in a number of ways. Most other reviewers here have complained about the miserable story line - and it IS pretty ... Read More Rating: - A depressing postscriptThis was the only book in the Little House series I hadn't read yet (shut up, I AM from Kansas), mostly because I'd always heard it wasn't really a Little House book at all, just Laura Ingalls Wilder's journal of her first four years of marriage on the prairie. It is quite different in tone from the other books in the Little House series, even with an alternate wedding that's not nearly as romanticized as the one in These Happy Golden Years. Also, the chapters aren't divided by a quaint episode or schoolhouse ...
