Summary:

Far Corner is the saga of a latter-day pioneer who invaded the Pacific Northwest wearing the only derby hat those parts had ever seen. Athor Stewart H.Holbrook bought the hat in Boston just before he boarded the steam-cars to seek fame and fotune amidst the booms and busts of the roaring '20s. On his journey he discovered there were still people who liked fried elk for breakfast and noticed that not all cowboys were six feet tall and lithe. He was delighted with a hamlet named Pluvuus because one it rained for 362 days and the other three days, according to the sole resident, "was goddam cloudy."
