A mid-20th century writer's lessons for us.
Great piece. Benny DeVoto was one of the most important writers of the west in the last century, and unfortunately one of the most forgotten. Most people know Wallace Stegner but have never read his mentor Benny DeVoto.
Thanks, Ken. I've found whenever I write about him, his fans rise to the surface. Those who know DeVoto, appreciate him.
Always great to be reminded of Benny's contributions to a better understanding of the American west.
I learn something new or walk away with new questions every time I pick him up.
