Little House on the Prairie (TV Miniseries) (2005)

Little House on the Prairie (TV Miniseries) (2005) commences in Pepin, Wisconsin, during the mid-1870s. Charles Ingalls (Cameron Bancroft), a rugged woodsman and trapper, grows weary of his surroundings and the increasing civilization. Despite the comfort of his home and the proximity of loved ones, he decides to move his family west to Kansas to claim a farm. Joining him are his wife Caroline (Erin Cottrell), and their daughters Mary (Danielle Chuchran), who is prim and fearful, and Laura (Kyle Chavarria), who is spirited and adventurous. The journey is fraught with challenges, including near-misses with dangerous terrain, a dog that nearly drowns, and a horse bitten by a rattlesnake. Upon reaching the Verdigris River, the Ingalls family begins to build a life from the wilderness. They encounter other settlers, including Mr. Edwards (Gregory Sporleder) and Mr. Scott (James Cosmo) with his aggressive wife (Gina Stockdale), and face scrutiny from nearby Native American tribes. The family's year on the prairie is marked by constant struggles against the environment, including building a cabin, digging a well, and celebrating Christmas. Laura and Charles also have encounters with local wildlife, such as being chased by wolves and a midnight attack by a mountain lion.
