O Pioneers! by Willa Cather

Over the course of the passage, the main focus of John  Bergson's thoughts shifts from the

physical qualities of his land to the personal qualities  that he values most in a potential successor.

Explanation:

In the 1913 historical fiction titled "O Pioneers!," Willa Cather chronicled the family life of John Bergson with themes that were focused on "the strength and everlasting nature of the land and the ugly, destructive nature of jealousy."  John Bergson and his family were Swedish immigrants, who settled  in Hanover, Nebraska.

Under the visionary leadership of Alexandra, they undertook the task of converting the raw land at Hanover into a productive farmland, thereby converting the family's misfortune of wretchedness to a life of profitable farming, comfort, and independence.  As the eldest, Alexandra was entrusted by her dying father, John, with the care of the land on behalf of the Bergsons: Oscar, Lou, and Emily.  She did not betray her father's trust, but valiantly delivered on her promise to make the land productive.
