Willa Cather moved to Nebraska in 1883, when she was only 9 years old. A year and a half later she moved to the small prairie city of Red Cloud. While there she had an attic room that she loved to read in. At sixteen she went to college.
After attending the University of Nebraska she moved to Pittsburg. She became a big woman in American journalism, but quit when she started writing her American masterpieces. She wrote three masterpieces in five years, one being My Antonia. She was received the Pulitzer Prize for her book One of Ours. She died in New York and was buried in New Hampshire.
My five questions are: What did she do on her family’s farm? Why did she wait so long to become a writer? What was her friendship with Isabelle McClung like?
