Willa Cather Foundation

The Willa Cather Foundation is an American not-for-profit organization, headquartered in Red Cloud, Nebraska, dedicated to preserving the archives and settings associated with Willa Cather (1873–1947), a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and promoting the appreciation of her work.〔(). Willa Cather Foundation. Retrieved October 1, 2009.〕
==Founding==
The organization was founded in 1955〔The Willa Cather Foundation.〕 in Red Cloud, the small town that appears frequently in her novels and stories under a variety of names.〔Woodress, James Leslie (1987). (''Willa Cather: A Literary Life'' ). Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press. p. 46.〕
Cather, born in Virginia in 1873, moved with her family to rural Webster County, Nebraska, in 1883; in late 1884 the family resettled in the county seat of Red Cloud, where Cather lived until beginning her college studies at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln in 1890.〔Marilee Lindemann, ed., ''The Cambridge Companion to Willa Cather''. Cambridge University Press. pp. xiv–xv.〕
Established as the Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial,〔''Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial News Letter'', Volume 1 Number 1.〕 the foundation was organized by a group of local volunteers under the direction of Mildred R. Bennett, a South Dakota native who had originally come to Webster County in 1932 as a schoolteacher and eventually became an important early figure in Cather studies.〔("Mildred Bennett" ). Willa Cather Foundation. Retrieved October 1, 2009.〕 Bennett's ''The World of Willa Cather'', published in 1951, was the first full-length biography to be published following Cather's death in 1947, and remains a useful resource for studying Cather's Nebraska milieu.〔Thacker, Robert. ("'A Critic Who Was Worthy of Her': The Writing of Willa Cather: A Critical Biography" ), in ''Willa Cather as Cultural Icon'' (''Cather Studies'' 7). p. 306.〕
