O Pioneers!

O Pioneers! is a 1913 novel by Willa Cather detailing life on the American Great Plains in Nebraska during pioneer times and the struggles of one immigrant woman to survive and prosper under these frontier conditions. The novel depicts the social world of that time and place, and especially the land, as much as it tells a story. The title is taken from a poem by Walt Whitman entitled ''Pioneers! O Pioneers!''.
