- Abstract
The article discusses Willa Cather's contribution of her works to Alexander Woollcott's project to provide literature for the troops in World War II. A section of Cather's "Death Comes for the Archbishop" was included in "As You Were: A Portable Library of American Prose and Poetry." The military also produced cheap, small editions of several of her pieces through the American Armed Services, including "O Pioneers!," "My Átonia," and "Death Comes for the Archbishop." Other writers who contributed are mentioned, including Edith Wharton, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Stephen Crane.
