American writer Willa Cather died #OTD in 1947.
Cather's first novel, Alexander's Bridge (1912), was a departure from her later work, but it was with her Prairie Trilogy — O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and My Ántonia (1918) — that she established her reputation as a major American novelist. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for One of Ours, a novel set during World War I.
