Two more books about Oregon
Read these older novels before your trip or carry along to read at the beach, er, the coast:
- Honey in the Horn. By H.L. Davis, 1935. Davis placed Oregon on the literary map when this became the first Northwestern book to win the Pulitzer Prize. The rambunctious hero, who rambles through the region one step ahead of the law, has been likened to Huckleberry Finn. H.L. Mencken called Davis, an Oregonian, the best novelist in America.

- Trask. Don Berry’s 1960 adventure novel follows a pioneering mountain man who is torn between native and European cultures as he settles on the Oregon Coast. Buy it from Amazon here and support The Real Oregon.
