"O Pioneers!" by Willa Cather to be discussed Mar. 19 for One Books One Nebraska

Learn about Willa Cather's great novel, "O Pioneers!", at a discussion at the Florence branch of the Omaha Public Library tomorrow evening.

Published 100 years ago, "O Pioneers!", the featured book for One Book One Nebraska 2013, is about Alexandra Bergson and others on the Nebraska prairie where Cather lived. "O Pioneers," considered Cather's break-through work of fiction, followed years of writing, teaching in Pittsburgh, and editing in New York City.
