between people and places as well as visual, and
surprisingly simple, descriptions of prairie life
and events. The characters and the story are far
more complex that at first appear. Even the
simplistic tone of the narrative voice is
deceptive in terms of the depth of feeling it
ultimately reveals. Cather is the sort of author

Act passed in 1862 by Congress gave 160 free acres
of prairie land to anyone who would live on it for
five years. A lot of farmers also bought land from
the Railroad Company so they could be close to the
transcontinental railroad tracks, which made
transportation better. Though the land was free,
the problems nearly outweighed the advantages. The
