He helped Pa build the family's cabin, saved Christmas by carrying presents across a raging creek, and spit farther than Laura thought possible. Though he was a little rough around the edges, Laura simply adored Mr. Edwards. Through her vivid, heartwarming stories, we came to love him, too. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut who was he? Virtually all Laura's \u003ci\u003eLittle House\u003c\/i\u003e characters were real people ... even those whose names were changed to protect their reputations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMr. Edwards, however, wasn't so easy to track down. In fact, he's the sole \u003ci\u003eLittle House\u003c\/i\u003e enigma ... the only mentioned character that hasn't clearly surfaced via historical records. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWas he fiction, for the sake of illustrating pioneer stereotypes? Was he a composite character, built from several men Laura knew during their time in Kansas? Was he a loose collection of memories and family lore, cobbled together for the sake of the narrative? Or was he a real man, whose full identity had previously evaded discovery?\u003cbr\u003eWe wanted to know the answer ... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo, we dusted off our boots and headed out ... hot on the trail of the wildcat from Tennessee!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
