Far Corner: A personal view of the Pacific Northwest

Far Corner is the saga of a latter-day pioneer who invaded the Pacific Northwest wearing the only derby hat those parts had ever seen. Author Stewart H. Holbrook bought the ha in Boston just before he boarded the steam-cars to seek fame and fortune amidst the books and busts of the roaring '20's. On his journey, he discovered thee were still people who liked fried elk for breakfast and noticed that not all cowboys wee six feet tall and lithe. He was delighted with a hamlet named Pluvius because one year it rained for 362 days and the other three day, according to the sole resident,"was goddam cloudy."
