O pioneers! / Cather, Willa

Alexandra, daughter of a Swedish immigrant farmer in Nebraska, inherits the family farm and finds love with an old friend.

Alexandra came from a hardy pioneer clan. Over the protests of her traditionally minded brothers, their dying father wills her, not them, the family homestead. With an iron will, she resolves to wrest a prosperous enterprise from the unforgiving Nebraska soil. With her bold spirit and intelligence, she must survive tragedy and hardship to keep her family together and tame the wild land that she loves.

An annotated edition of American author Willa Cather's 1913 novel about an independent young woman whose passion for the Nebraska prairie leads to her becoming a wealthy landowner.
