: : I am a High school student doing a research paper on Willa Cather. Her book O Pioneers was named after Walt Whitmans poem titled " Pioneers! O Pioneers!". I was wondering if you knew if this poem was fiction or was it based on true events. I was looking for a little backgroung info, and was wondering if you could help me .
: I can write to you here? First time for me and thank you for bringing up the poem Pioneers etc by Whitman, I had not read it, and did because of you question. : If the poem is not based on a real event, is that your question? I think what he is talking about is the young, that go to war to help the betterment of mankind, and then his message I think is "never must you be divide, in our ranks you move united" Hope I was useful to you.
