5/9: willa cather's room

We went to Red Cloud today, which is where Willa Cather spent a good part of her childhood. Taking a tour of the Cather's home, we saw Willa Cather's tiny room tucked into a corner of the attic. It was covered with old, peeling, faded, fragile, and sweet wall-paper. Our guide told me that Cather had worked at the drugstore to save up the money for the wall-paper and then hung it herself.
