  from From "The Namesake" to One of Ours: Willa Cather on War
By the same token, in One of Ours, Claude Wheeler stands in dramatic opposition to the nineteenth-century mechanization of American agriculture and the pragmatic, neo-utilitarian values used by farmers to justify the destruction of indigenous plant and animal life.
In One of Ours, a complex and chilling analysis of war and its place in the American psyche, this tension is everywhere.
Our brief glimpse of patriotic gore in "The Namesake" belongs in the same category as the tramp's bizarre suicide in My Antonia, Ivy Peter's psychotic and sadistic blinding of the woodpecker in A Lost Lady, and the parenthetical tale in Shadows on the Rock of the little girl devoured by carp at Fontainebleau.

 Amazon.com: One of Ours (The Collected Works of Willa Cather): Books: Willa Cather   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In One of Ours Willa Cather explores the destiny of a grandchild of the pioneers, a young Nebraskan whose yearnings impel him toward a frontier bloodier and more distant than the one that vanished before his birth.
But "One of Ours" is instead a eulogy for her cousin who served as an officer at the Western front.
Like some of her other works, "One of Ours" is a perceptive character sketch of a Midwestern youth struggling to escape the confinement of life on the farm.

Her description of our hero's lament is sincere in its vaguery.
In the end, where we knew we were headed, we long a little bit for the entrapment of our hero's Nebraska, but feel a little bit liberated by his new freedom.

But this grandkid business is a moot point since our one surviving child, a daughter who married at age thirty-nine, has no children.
Our daughter's time is devoted, not to her own children, but to her ever-expanding group of young women who are trying to make better lives for themselves and their children.
Later, we'll call our daughter and she will fill us in on the progress of the young women we privately refer to as "Lyn's girls." Never telling us their names, for that would be a breach of confidence, she reports on their accomplishments as a mother would do.

 CNN - One of Ours: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing - June 10, 1998
Based on hundreds of interviews, including an in-depth exclusive with Timothy McVeigh, Richard Serrano takes readers on a wild ride on the trail of the Oklahoma City bomber, showing not only how the bomb parts were collected but how a seemingly normal young man came to hate his government and "save" his country.
"Our investigation has revealed that you have knowledge about the bombing..." they said.
And now the agents were coming, ready to present him to the throng outside and the rest of the country -- a nation in disbelief that the tremendous destructive force in Oklahoma City could come from a deep anger born and nurtured within our borders.

 One of Ours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willa Cather's novel One of Ours, winner of the 1923 Pulitzer Prize, tells the story of the life of Claude Wheeler, a native of Nebraska around the turn of the 20th century.
Son of a successful midwestern farmer and an intensely pious mother and guaranteed a comfortable livelihood, Claude Wheeler nonetheless views himself as a victim both of his father's success and of his mother's excessive restraint.
One of Ours is thus a portrait of a peculiarly American personality: it is the story of a young man born after the American frontier has vanished, yet whose quintessentially American restlessness seeks redemption on a frontier far bloodier and more distant than that which his forefathers had already tamed.

We read it in the synagogue, because the larger the crowd, the greater publicity is given to the miracle of our being saved, and therefore the greater the sense of joy.
We eat our fill and pamper our bodies -- because it is the Jewish bodies that Haman sought to destroy.
Also, we are obliged to imbibe alcohol until one doesn't know the difference between "cursed is Haman" and "blessed is Mordechai." In other words, we drink until the point that we realize that ultimately we don't even have enough faculties to know the difference between one who is cursed and who is blessed.

Although Stegner's work is most often found in the regional sections of bookstores, much of his fiction is East Coast and urban at its core.
His 1960 letter to the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission in California, in which he plants the notion that setting aside wilderness is necessary to preserve the country's spiritual health, blossomed in the 1970s into an oft-repeated and widely translated prayer for conservation groups around the world.
"We need wilderness preserved—as much of it as is still left, and as many kinds—because it was the challenge against which our character as a people was formed," he wrote in the letter.
