Writer of the Plains by Karen Ritz, Thomas Streissguth
Here`s a telling and highly readable look at one of America`s most insightful writers of the 20th century.

Still, she was never satisfied with her writing -- until she began to tell the stories of Nebraska, the people and the land that had shaped her. Her great novels of the prairie, such as O Pioneers! and My Antonia, established her as one of the finest writers of her time.
