Timeline

1750

The family's Irish ancestors had settled in Pennsylvania in the 1750s, and Willa cut her hair short and wore trousers to her fashionable mother's chagrin.

1875

Willa Cather was born in 1875 on a small farm close to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. She was the eldest of seven children born to Charles Cather, a deputy Sheriff and struggling entrepreneur, and Mary Virginia Boak Cather.

1883

In 1883 the Cather family moved to join Willa's grandparents in Webster County, Nebraska. A year later they moved to Red Cloud, a nearby railroad town, where Willa met Annie Sadilek, whom she later used as the model for My Antonia. Willa attended the University of Nebraska, where she edited the school magazine and contributed to local papers.

1892

In 1892 she published her short story "Peter" in a Boston magazine, a story that later became part of her novel My Antonia.

1895

After graduation in 1895, became an editor at Home Monthly in Pittsburgh.

1905

Her short stories were ultimately published in a collection called `The Troll Garden' in 1905, which brought her to the attention of S. S. McClure.

1906

1913

Over the next two decades, she published such prolific works as 'O Pioneers' (1913), 'My Antonia' (1917), and 'One of Ours' (1922), which won the Pulitzer Prize.

1925

Her early novels focused on the destruction of provincial life and the death of the pioneering tradition, though her later novels (including 'The Professor's House' (1925), 'My Mortal Enemy' (1926), and 'Death Comes for the Archbishop' (1927)) reflected the personal despair that followed her commercial success.
