Cather, Willa: Youth and the Bright Medusa. V1. 22 Dec 2998
Willa Sibert Cather (December 7, 1873 – April 24, 1947) was an American author who grew up in Nebraska. She is best known for her depictions of frontier life on the Great Plains in novels such as O Pioneers!, My Ántonia, and The Song of the Lark.
Cather received both national and state honors. In 1973, the United States Postal Service honored Willa Cather by using her image on a postage stamp. In 1981 the US Mint created the Willa Cather medallion, a half-ounce gold coin. Cather was elected to the Nebraska Hall of Fame. In 1986, Cather was inducted into the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame. Her alma mater, the University of Nebraska-incoln, named residence halls after both Cather and her college friend Louise Pound. Pound had a lifelong career as professor of English at the university and was the first woman president of the Modern Language Association. Wikipedia Contains eight of Cather's finest stories. "More than a random collection of excellent tales. . .one of the most poetical interpretations of American life."--The Nation This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
