On the Way Home is an original diary of Laura Ingalls Wilder from a trip that she made in 1894 with her husband Almanzo Wilder and a seven-year-old daughter Rose from their home in De Smet, South Dakota to Mansfield, Missouri, where they settled for good.

It contains detailed description, day by day, of the trip, with a commentary by her daughter Rose. The book was published for the first time in 1962, after Laura's death.
