As I looked about me I felt that the grass was the country, as the water is the sea. The red of the grass made all the great prairie the colour of winestains, or of certain seaweeds when they are first washed up. And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running.My ntonia, Willa CatherIt is often called CatherlandWebster County, Nebraska, where the quintessential American novelist Willa Cather spent her childhood and found inspiration for her stories of European immigrants on the prairie. Richard Schilling, with his watercolor paintings and ink sketches, conducts us to that land, to scenes that might have influenced Cather, but as they appear today. Schillings images take us to Red Cloud, Cathers childhood home; to the Willa Cather Memorial Prairie, a botanical jewel of mixedgrass prairie restored to its pre1900 condition; and on to the divide, the high prairie land between the Little Blue River to the north and the Republican River to the south. Each evocative original watercolor is paired with an excerpt from Cathers work and with the authors own musings on the history, geography, and ecology of the landscape.
