Our 61st annual Willa Cather Spring Conference focused on the sacrifices made during the Great War. We gathered to discuss the war's impact not only on Willa Cather's life and war-era writings but on those of her literary contemporaries, as well as the legacy of the war on American culture. Highlights of the Conference included papers and panel discussions; a keynote address by Dr. Pearl James; 2016 "One Book One Nebraska" author Karen Gettert Shoemaker; readings of poetry and drama of the World War I era; dance instruction and popular music of the 1910s; and a Red Cloud Opera House performance, Keep the Home Fires Burning: Music From the Great War, by soprano Sarah Young. This gallery contains many photos from the 3-day event, June 2-4, 2016.
