Mr. Edwards Mr. Edwards is a fictional character that appeared in the Little House series of autobiographical children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. His character was later adapted for the NBC television show, ''Little House on the Prairie'' and given the name "Isaiah Edwards." As stated by Wilder in her books, Mr. Edwards was "the wildcat from Tennessee" whom the Ingalls met during their stay near Independence, Kansas in the ''Little House on the Prairie'' novel. They met for a short while also in ''By the Shores of Silver Lake,'' when Mr. Edwards helps Pa file his claim during a sudden settlement rush, and in ''The Long Winter,'' when he generously gives the now-blind Mary a $20 bill. ==Historical influences==
It remains unknown whether Mr. Edwards was a completely fictional person or if his story was based on some authentic events and people from Laura's life. Many researchers of the "Little House" books believe that Edwards was actually a person or persons whom Laura gave the traits and actions of people she knew who did kind deeds for the Ingalls throughout the years. Some believe the real Mr. Edwards was actually Edmund Mason, whose grave may be found in the local Harrison Cemetery, near where the Ingalls were living in the book ''Little House on the Prairie'', though certain key aspects of Mason's known life are at odds with the information about "Mr. Edwards" supplied by Laura in her novels.
