almanzo

1. Almanzo Wilder is the husband of American author, Laura Ingalls Wilder, who first mentioned him in her book, “The Long Winter”. At the time, the settlers were surviving in harsh conditions and running out of food. Almanzo and Cap Garland, both bachelors, decided to risk their lives to bring back food for the townsfolk. They acted selflessly and heroically.

2. Almanzo said his name came from an Arabic name Al Mansoor, who was a man who saved one of his ancestors.

3. It is the name of someone who is dependable, hard working but has a good sense of humour. Almanzo may be stubborn at times.

That Almanzo certainly has a flair for art!
