 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One of Ours is a 1922 novel written by Willa Cather.Claude Wheeler is a young man growing up in Nebraska in the early 1910s. Claude is aimless and discontented, frustrated with the limitations of rural life, looking for a purpose. His parents, who are perfectly content being farmers, don't understand Claude's frustrations. He gets married to childhood sweetheart Enid, but it soon becomes apparent that she doesn't understand him either, and the marriage is a failure. Finally, Claude finds something bigger than himself—on the battlefields of France.Cather based her story in part on the life of a cousin of hers who was killed at Cantigny in 1918. A war story taking place overseas was a departure for Cather, as her previous work (like My Ántonia) was centered around her Nebraska homeland.

 Artistic License – History: Cather admits in a footnote that the outbreak of Spanish influenza is placed in the novel several months ahead of the point where the real outbreak struck.

 Cut Himself Shaving: Apparently Claude's brother Bayliss blamed his black eye on running into a reaper in the dark, but as Leonard gleefully relates, it was really because Leonard punched him for talking rudely about some local girls.
