Set in Oregon in the early years of the twentieth century, H. L.
Davis's Honey in the Horn chronicles the struggles faced by
homesteaders as they attempted to settle down and eke out
subsistence from a still-wild land. With sly humor and keenly
observed detail, Davis pays homage to the indomitable character of
Oregon's restless people and dramatic landscapes without
romanticizing or burnishing the myths. Clay Calvert, an orphan,
works as a hand on a sheep ranch until he stumbles into trouble and
is forced to flee. Journeying throughout the state, from the lush
coastal forests, to the Columbia Gorge, to the golden wheat fields
east of the Cascades, he encounters a cast of characters as rich
and diverse as the land, including a native Tunne boy and a
beautiful girl named Luce. Originally published in 1935, Honey in
the Horn reveals as much about the prevailing attitudes and beliefs
during H. L. Davis's lifetime as it does about the earlier era in
which it is set. It transcends the limitations of its time through
the sheer power and beauty of Davis's prose. Full of humor and
humanity, Davis's first novel displays a vast knowledge of Pacific
Northwest history, lore, and landscape. The only Oregon book that
has ever won a Pulitzer Prize for fiction, this classic
coming-of-age novel has been called the "Huckleberry Finn of the
West." With a new introduction by Richard W. Etulain, this
important work from one of Oregon's premier authors is once again
available for a new generation.
