Whether they were actually Hungarian or Bohemian ai??Hunkiesai?? or ai??Bohunksai?? 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 ai??Honyockers.ai?? And to Honyockers like David Mogena'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 fathera'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 ai??Hi-Lineai?? 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 fathera's cowboy legacy as well as the hidden pain and healing power of his mothera's homesteading heritage. His is a journey that opens a window on a unique but little-known region of Montana and the West.
