Honey in the Horn

Summary

Young Clay Calvert drifts through early twentieth century Oregon, moving among homesteaders, drifters, horse traders, and outlaws as he tries to make sense of love and his own restless nature. Davis stitches together a sequence of episodic adventures in earthy, vernacular prose that captures the speech, humor, and rough edges of Pacific Northwest frontier life. The novel offers a deliberately unromantic, ground level view of an era often dressed up as legend.
