Best Answer

One biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder speculates that Carrie's poor health was attributed to their hunger during the Long Winter. But it is clear that Carrie had had health problems from early childhood. In her adulthood, she traveled to a number of different places to see if the weather there improved her health, but she always came back to Dakota. Carrie was not an invalid - she held important, busy positions - but she never did enjoy truly robust health during her life.
