As a young man, Claude is dissatisfied with Nebraska farm like as well as his marriage to a childhood friend, desperate for a more cosmopolitan life. When America joins the Great War, Claude decides to enlist, where he finds excitement and fulfillment--as well as tragedy--on the battlefield.</b></p> <p/> <p/><p><i>One of Ours</i> was considered a failure by some male critics of the day: H. L. Mencken said it "drops to the level of a serial in the <i>Ladies' Home Journal</i>, fought out not in France, but on a Hollywood movie-lot," and Ernest Hemingway panned Cather for not having experienced the front-line herself. </p> <p/> <p/><p>However, the Pulitzer committee considered it the greatest novel of the year, and this accessible, dramatic novel sold many more copies than Cather's more famous ones, <i>O, Pioneers!</i> and <i>My Antonia</i>.</p>
