Various land agents are discussed in the text; land agents were, at the time of the book, equivalent to today's real estate brokers. The various land agents appear to all be hard-working and honest men. Almanzo Wilder deals with land agents soon after arriving in Missouri and then more extensively upon reaching Mansfield, Missouri. The land agents work with Almanzo to locate an affordable property. They are otherwise not discussed in the book.
