O Pioneers » (New Edition)

Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Willa Cather once famously observed, "The end is nothing; the road is all." Cather herself made the most of the road she traveled, wearing an indelible literary path studded with classic American novels from O Pioneers! to My ntonia.

O Pioneers! tells the story of the Bergsons, a family of Swedish immigrants in rural Nebraska, at the turn of the 20th century. The main character, Alexandra Bergson, inherits the family farm when her father dies, and she devotes her life to making the farm a viable enterprise.
