I love everything your doing to remember Willa Cather, I have a couple books of her and also have our family tree with her in it. My grandfather John Williams Cather still has alot of her books and i believe some are signed by her or family. I am very proud to be a Cather, with such a great author in the family.

Thank you for everything.

I found O, Pioneers! at the St. Louis Arch gift shop while on a tour with my choir. I fell in love with Cather's words, and have been reading them in published order over the past few years. "Song of the Lark" has become my "favorite book," currently. Someday I will treat myself to the Willa Cather Tour! Btw, do you guys have an email newsletter?

GO CATHER GO!!

This website is GREAT! It definitely helped with an essay I have to write.

THANKS

Just visited your site today for the first time, after seeing it listed with a brief bio on WC in a recent issue of American Profile, the newspaper magazine insert.

Seeing all you have to offer got me excited @ digging out my Cather books to plunge in again! How apropo to see this glimpse of an author who wrote so compellingly of the Midwest's harsh and tender nature, while snowdrifts gather in our northcentral KS farmyard! Please put me on the e-list to receive info @ this year's Annual/Spring conference. Hope to make it up soon!  

Just visiting your site and reviewing your foundation materials.  Thank you for allowing me to visit.

 Best,

Cather's writings are deeply inspiring, and I can relate to them strongly.  In the course of a weekend I read One of Ours, and am only disappointed that she did not carry out the story further, or into more detail.  It was a work that I did not want to see reach its end.  The world needs more characters such as Claude Wheeler.

I greatly enjoyed the site --I had the good fortune to have Bruce Baker as one of my professors at University of Nebraska at Omaha (one of my favorite professors) and, through his Willa Cather course, developed a deep and abiding love for Willa Cather that has stayed with me!  Thank goodness your foundation and organization is keeping that part of Nebraska Literary History alive for all to enjoy.  Please extend my best wishes to Dr. Baker ---it's been over 30 years and I still remember all the great classes I took with him and the great Willa Cather discussions!

I've enjoyed learning more about an author I've read through school. Thank you for your hard work.

I have to say I agree with the comment below. I was there this month and had a fantastic visit. I did get to take the tour and Dorothy was my guide. There is nothing better then getting a tour from someone that knew Mildred Bennett. It was my pleasure to have made it to Nebraska and to have took the tour. I will be back and will have friends.

You have such a great staff at the Willa Cather Foundation. I was there to visit for the first time in June and loved every minute of it. I will be sure to come back and have time to take the tour. That was my only disappointment was that i did not give myself the time to be there longer. But you give me great brochures and information. Until we meet again....

Thank you so much for an entertaining and educational tour. My dad and I came from Omaha on Friday July 9th and took the 7 building tour through Red Cloud. I enjoyed learning more about Cather's life and the town of Red Cloud itself. Our tour guide was both knowledgable and friendly. It was a day I'll remember for a long while,

Sincerely,

I am a new visitor to the website although I have known about you for many years.  I attended the University of Nebraska along with my father and his brothers so I am aware of Ms Cather as a Nebraska author.  I also happened on her birthplace in VA where I lived for a number of years.

My book group is reading My Antonia at my request so I will be spreading the word about the foundation and the website.  It has been a lovley visit and great to re read My Antonia after many many years
