O Pioneers! by Willa Cather
O Pioneers!, Willa Cather's first great novel, is the classic American story of pioneer life as embodied by one remarkable woman and her singular devotion to the land. Alexandra Bergson arrives on the wind-blasted prairie of Nebraska as a young girl and grows up to turn it into a prosperous farm. In this unforgettable story,Cather conveys both the physical realities of the landscape, as well as the mythic sweep of the transformation of the frontier, more faithfully and perhaps more fully than any other work of fiction.Willa Sibert Cather (1873 – 1947) was an American author best known for her novels about life on the Great Plains' frontier, such as O Pioneers! One of Ours (1922), a novel set during World War I, won her the Pulitzer Prize in 1923. Cather was born in Virginia and raised in Nebraska, where she attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She spent eleven years in Pittsburgh, working as a magazine editor and high school English teacher to support herself. She relocated to New York City at the age of 33, where she spent the rest of her life, but she also traveled extensively and spent time at her summer house on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick.
