Purchased from the OSU Press booth at Wordstock 2017.
The only Oregon novel to win a Pulitzer. First published in 1935. Set early in the 20th century.
Davis's descriptions are amazing. His story-telling is excellent. His characters are interesting and illuminating.
The narrator's attitude and portrayal of Native Americans is pretty negative but he is not particularly complimentary of the Euro-Americans either.
Davis's description of the environmental damage done by the agricultural practices of the time is prescient.
There is a fair amount of humor to help relieve the frustration of watching so many people make idiotic decisions.
When Davis described a trip across the coast range, I was a little mystified by the tree species he named until I realized that what I see now is third-growth, planted Douglas Fir not the complex native forest that preceded it.
