My book club is reading My Antonia right now. I love your pictures so I’m going to give them a link to your blog.

I just went on my own “literary road trip” last weekend: http://paperbackpirate.blogspot.com/2011/04/building-pauson-house.html

I’m catching up on some of your archives (thanks for commenting on my blog during the read-a-thon!) and had to jump in here and say that I’ve been to Red Cloud! I went several years ago when I was taking a Great Plains Lit class at UNL (as a nontraditional student – read: old!). I’ve read My Antonia, O! Pioneers, Song of the Lark and Death Comes for the Archbishop. Red Cloud is very much as I envisioned it. If you only read one of Cather’s books, I suggest My Antonia. You’ll recognize so many landmarks from your visit to Red Cloud.

So, where in NE are you? I’m in Lincoln.

I love Willa Cather’s books! OK. I’ve only read My Antonia, but I read it twice. Does that count as two? I also have Death Comes For The Archbishop sitting on my shelf waiting to be read. The picture of the prairie landscape was just how I pictured it. Very cool.

Fabulous, fabulous Literary Road Trip. I’ve read Cather and like her work. I love seeing this more personal connection to the author.

Stunning photos. The quality of light and the shades of the landscape are just as I imagined they would be from reading Cather. Glad I was directed to your blog!

Absolutely fantastic tour–thanks so much for sharing this with us! I’ve been through Nebraska several times but always missed Red Cloud.
