Willa Cather (1873-1947), was born in Virginia and moved to the Nebraska prairie with her family at age 9 in 1883. Her family settled in Red Cloud which is just outside of the Southeast Nebraska region but she was no stranger to Southeast Nebraska as she moved to Lincoln in 1890 to enroll in the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. There she began her writing and publishing career and also befriended General John J. Pershing. She graduated in 1894 with a bachelors degree in English. Following graduation she moved to the East Coast where she would live for the rest of her life, returning only to Nebraska and Red Cloud a few more times. She is considered one of our most notable Nebraska and American Pulitzer Prize winning authors.
