Summary
O Pioneers! is a 1913 novel by Willa Cather, the first of her “prairie trilogy” of novels. It tells the story of the Bergsons, a family of Swedish immigrants in the farm country near the fictional town of Hanover, Nebraska, at the turn of the 20th century. The protagonist, Alexandra Bergson, inherits the family farm when her father dies, and devotes her life to making the farm a success at a time when many other families are giving up and leaving the land. The novel also deals with two romantic relationships, one between Alexandra and Carl Linstrum, and the other between Alexandra's brother Emil and Marie Shabata, a married woman. The book is divided into five parts: Wild Land, Neighboring Fields, Winter Memories, The White Mulberry Tree, and Alexandra.
