  A Literary History of the American West   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Davis was born at Rone's Mill, Oregon, in 1894, although he later gave a variety of dates for his birth, and even claimed a variety of other birthplaces around Roseburg, Oregon.
Harold was interested in horses throughout his life, owning his own whenever possible, and his knowledge of the firearms used in the American West was encyclopedic.
In a reversal Davis had experimented with in "Open Winter," the boy is the jaded, worldly wise, cynical one, and the old man is the Adamic innocent who, through a spiritual crucifixion, redeems the sin of a failure of love in his youth.

 Jefferson County, TN, Genealogy & History Website
Harold Lenoir Davis was born in 1894 north of Roseburg, Oregon, at Rone's Mill (Nonpariel) in the Umpqua River Valley, at the foothills of the Cascade Mountains.
Harold's nephew observed, "Lenoir means 'the fl,' which is an apt middle name for my uncle," because Harold was decidedly different from the rest of his family.
Harold Davis and his wife moved to Napa, California, where he continued to work on novels; however, short stories were his primary source of income.

 H. L. Davis
Davis was born on October 18,1894, at Nonpareil, in the Umpqua River Valley.
Davis did not consider himself a “regional” writer, but as a “serious writer about the human condition who uses regions with which he was acquainted as settings for his work.
Davis was never completely satisfied with the picture of The Dalles that he presented in “A Town in Eastern Oregon,” and felt that a “more deeply-studied thesis” was needed.

 Overview: Thomas Wolfe visits the NW
Davis got the break he'd been hoping for, when in 1932, with strong support from both Mencken and Monroe, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
Davis, like Thomas Wolfe, had a resourceful and effusive mentality that readily led him astray; characters and situations had to be analyzed in full and with every aspect of their significance, before he could let them go.
H.L. Davis, who paid his piper with physical problems, isolation from the source of his best work, and perhaps spiritual exhaustion, perhaps best exemplifies the challenges faced by all the region's writers as they sought to create a voice that transcended provincial limitations.

He is unique and original; Lenoir's guitar work is rooted in Delta/acoustic guitar blues traditions, yet, in his riffs and songwriting, he displays the savvy hooks and songwriting skills of a contemporary pop tunesmith.
J.B. Lenoir is probably best known for his exuberant boogie "Mama, Talk To Your Daughter", but he was much more than just a one-hit wonder, writing several excellent songs in his sharp, literate style.
Lenoir's vocal sound would have fit fine a decade later in the doo-wop era, but in 1954-55 Lenoir's smooth as Big Bill Broonzy voice is flawless, and certianly instantly recognizable.

 Honey in the Horn (Harold Lenoir Davis)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
I have enjoyed extremely some other works by H. Davis, most notably the novel Winds of Morning, and the beautifully executed short story, "The Homestead Orchard." It was with pleasurable anticipation that I obtained Davis's prizewinning magnum opus.
Davis' wry humor makes this a readers delight.
Having lived in the general area as a youth I found many of the incidents sounding like the seemingly endless tales that my father and his collegues would spend hours swapping.

 Winds of Morning. (Harold Lenoir Davis)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
H.L. Davis was born in Douglas County, Oregon (he died in 1962), and this novel is set in the Middle Columbia River region.
This is a western in the true sense: it tells a captivating story of love, murder and redemption set in eastern Oregon in the 1920's.
Too bad H.L. Davis was not more appreciated in his time.

Though Davis, like the others, is significantly defined by his roots, this defining did not always please him.
For Davis, the received ideas of regional nobility didn’t actually coincide with anyone’s moral significance.  The explorers and trappers, the Whitmans, the Indian-fighting Army, the town fathers and mothers were just people.
Away from his region, Harold Lenoir Davis succeeded as a writer.  He won a Pulitzer for his 1935 novel Honey in the Horn; his poems won the Levinson prize from Poetry magazine.

Skeeter Davis, a Grammy-nominated singer and veteran of the Grand Ole Opry, died on Sept. 19 after a long battle with breast cancer.
Davis married and divorced three times, first to Kenneth Depew, then to Ralph Emery (a disk jockey and host of the TV show "Nashville Now") and finally to bassist Joey Spampinato.
In 1965, producer Harold Prince and veteran director George Abbott hired Ebb and Kander to write the score for "Flora, the Red Menace." The show was not a success, but it led to another gig -- writing the lyrics and music for a musical called "Cabaret." After opening in 1966, "Cabaret" ran for 1,165 performances.
