A Warm Midwestern Welcome!

A view of living one's life on the plains of Nebraska is captured

in the writings of Willa Cather, renowned writer and plainswoman.

Here is one excerpt:

"Alexandra drew her shawl closer about her and stood leaning against the frame of the mill, looking at the stars which glittered so keenly through the frosty autumn air. She always loved to watch them, to think of their vastness and distance, and of their ordered march. It fortified her to reflect upon the great operations of nature, and when she thought of the law that lay behind them, she felt a sense of personal security. That night she had a new consciousness of the country, felt almost a new relation to it...  She had never known before how much the country meant to her. The chirping of the insects down in the long grass had been like the sweetest music. She had felt as if her heart were hiding down there, somewhere, with the quail and the clover and all the little wild things that crooned or buzzed in the sun. Under the long shaggy ridges, she felt the future stirring."

Selected from "The Wild Land" of Cather's novel, O Pioneers!
