Nebraska author Willa Cather is the newest honoree to have a statue in the U.S. Capitol’s Statuary Hall.
The bronze figure was unveiled Wednesday among a group of national and state leaders, Cather family members, and other Cather enthusiasts. She is the twelfth woman and first Pulitzer Prize winner to be honored with a Statuary Hall sculpture.
