Publisher's Synopsis
O Pioneers! is a novel by Willa Cather that tells the story of a Swedish immigrant family in Nebraska in the late 19th century. The book follows the Bergsons, a family of farmers, as they struggle to make a life for themselves in the harsh and unforgiving prairie landscape. The main character, Alexandra Bergson, is a strong and independent woman who takes charge of the family farm after her father's death. She faces many challenges, including drought, financial difficulties, and the disapproval of her conservative neighbors. Despite these obstacles, Alexandra perseveres and eventually succeeds in transforming the farm into a prosperous and thriving enterprise. Along the way, she forms close relationships with her brothers, her childhood friend Carl, and other members of the community. O Pioneers! is a powerful and moving portrait of the American West and the people who settled there, and it remains a classic of American literature to this day.A classic by one of William Faulkner's favorite authors.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
