Isaiah Edwards

Isaiah Edwards (also known as "Mr. Edwards") was a Mountain man who first met the Ingalls family while they were living on the open prairies of Kansas and later settled in Walnut Grove. Edwards was a good but troubled man. He had many bouts with alcoholism, loss of faith and depression due to past personal tragedies; as a result he was known to get into brawls and gamble away his money. However, he would remain a good and faithful friend to the Ingalls' family and Laura's family.
