Oregon detour

Nard Jones
"Oregon Detour was first published in 1930, the first novel of a young Northwest journalist who became one of the region's best-known writers. Its new realist depiction of Weston, Oregon -- thinly disguised as "Creston"--Shocked some Weston residents and created a controversy that still lingers today. Nard Jones portrays the people of this small town in eastern Oregon wheat country with directness and compassion -- their dreams, toil, passions, and tragedies." -- Oregon State University website
