Cashup Davis: The Inspiring Life Of A Secret Mentor

Among the first white settlers in eastern Washington's Palouse, the brash yet charming Cashup Davis and his family turn their bunchgrass acreage into a farm, befriend Native Americans during a war ignited by the U.S. government's treaty violations, and eventually open an immensely popular and prosperous stagecoach stop. Cashup follows his dream of building a grand hotel on the summit of Steptoe Butte and becomes a national celebrity, but no one expects what happens next. Told by his great-grandson Gordon Davis, who views Cashup as the secret mentor he never met, the story also explores still-relevant questions about ambition, success, legacy, and balancing risk and reward.
