O Pioneers

by Willa Cather

Overview

Alexandra Bergson assumes responsibility for running the family farm after her father's death. She possesses the strength of the pioneers that the author knew in her Midwestern youth. Writing O Pioneers! was for Cather 'like taking a ride through a familiar country on a horse that knew the way.'
