One of Ours

"e;One of Ours"e; is Willa Cather's Pulitzer prize winning story of Claude Wheeler, a Nebraska native at the turn of the 20th century.

With the country on the brink of World War One, "e;One of Ours"e; is an important document of a changing American frontier and the plight of one young man to deal with it.
