Woodress, James Leslie. Willa Cather: A Literary Life, Omaha, NE: University of Nebraska Press, 1987, p. 516. Cather's birth date is confirmed by a birth certificate and a January 22, 1874 letter of her father's referring to her. While working at McClure's Magazine, Cather claimed to be born in 1875. After 1920, she claimed 1876 as her birth year. That is the date carved into her gravestone at Jaffrey, New Hampshire.
