Features: This book is the second volume of the early long and short stories of Willa Cather in the "Library of America," including two long novels, "My Antonia" and "One of Ours." Willa Cather depicted the prairie and the immigrants who conquered it. Her formative years spent in the untamed wilderness of the Nebraska plains influenced her work. The novel "My Antonia" (1918) tells the story of a Bohemian girl who, facing the formidable power of nature, prepares a safe home for her family. "Death Comes for the Archbishop" (1927) is a story set in the colonial state of New Mexico, written as an abstract meditation. This work earned her the Pulitzer Prize.
