O Pioneers!

by Willa Cather

It’s the beginning of the twentieth century. Alexandra Bergson is a steadfast Swedish woman who has grown up in the prairie of Nebraska. Through various hardships and opposition from her brothers, she draws comfort and joy from the land that she loves.

Willa Cather uses beautiful descriptions and soothing language to portray life on the prairie in the early 1900s.
