Reviews
"David Mogen, CSU English professor, has penned a realistic memoir that will trigger memories in all, even if you don''t know what in the world a honyocker is."-Nancy Hansford, Coloradoan, "Mogen deftly revisits the geographies of his past, resulting in an eloquent testimony to the grit and aspirations of his parents and his own talent as a lyrical chronicler."-O. Alan Weltzien, Western American Literature, "[Honyocker Dreams] has the true feel of human memory, the memory that recognizes past and present and future, but experiences them all at once, in the recalling and retelling of the lifetimes that have touched him."Scott P. Sanders, professor of English at the University of New Mexico, "I grew up in South Texas, about as far south as one can get from the Hi-Line and still be in the United States. But the book continually brought back memories I didn't even know I had about what it was like to be a kid growing up in a small town, where one learns to rely on one's own resources. In Mr. Mogen's fine book, we learn as much about ourselves as we do about him."-David Crisp, Billings Outpost, "A compelling story and a deeply satisfying read. . . . .Honyocker Dreamsprovides an introspective glimpse at adventures both large and small, a consuming quest for a sense of place and belonging, and on a large scale, life's mystery and tragedy."Beef Torrey, coeditor ofJim Harrison: A Comprehensive Bibliography, 19642008, "A compelling story and a deeply satisfying read. . . . .

Synopsis
Whether they were actually Hungarian or Bohemian, "Hunkies" or "Bohunks," or even from Eastern Europe at all, to the old ranchers of the Great Plains, the farmers and settlers who moved in and fenced off the open land were no-account "Honyockers." And to Honyockers like David Mogen's people, who built lives in the face of great difficulty and prejudice, the name came to bear all the meaning and power of their hard-won home place. It is this sense of place, of tenacious if uneasy belonging, that David Mogen traces through his family history in Honyocker Dreams . Beginning with his father's reminiscences as he surveys the Montana landscape, Mogen weaves a narrative of memory and history, of the dreams and disappointments of working-class farmers, cowboys, and miners among his ancestors, and of the post-frontier world of Indian reservations and farming towns that endure on the Montana "Hi-Line," the flat expanse of Big Sky country that lies hard against the Canadian border east of the Rockies. From the frontier world of his parents and pioneer ancestors to the boom-and-bust tales about growing up in the small-town world of his own Montana childhood in the 1950s, Mogen travels full circle to recent journeys that reveal the paradoxical burdens and strengths of his father's cowboy legacy as well as the hidden pain and healing power of his mother's homesteading heritage. His is a journey that opens a window on a unique but little-known region of Montana and the West., To the old ranchers of the Great Plains, the farmers and settlers who moved in and fenced off the open land were no-account ""Honyockers"". And to Honyockers like David Mogen's people, the name came to bear all the meaning and power of their hard-won home place. It is this sense of place, of tenacious if uneasy belonging, that David Mogen traces through his family history in Honyocker Dreams.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
