Sounds like you may have read “Prairie Fires” — an excellent bio. My recollection of it is that Laura Ingalls Wilder had a rather ordinary life, with the usual trials and hardships of that era. It was when her daughter reached puberty that things turned . . . wilder. That daughter of hers was a real pistol.

I read the books about her daughter.

The girl was a real brat.

“That daughter of hers was a real pistol.”

Rose. IIRC, she was a Libertarian activist.
