Cashup Davis

One of the first white settlers on the Palouse, Cashup Davis farms, befriends Native Americans, and opens a popular stagecoach stop, then follows his lifelong dream to build a grand hotel on the summit of Steptoe Butte. No one expects what happens next. Told by his great-grandson Gordon Davis, who views Cashup as a secret mentor, the story also explores still-relevant questions about ambition, success, and balancing risks and rewards.
