Homer Davenport (1867-1912) was Oregon’s first media super-star. Yet, few outside his hometown of Silverton, OR are even aware of the impact this self-described “country boy” had on society. His unique rural Oregon upbringing, along with a supportive and nurturing home life, equipped Davenport with the intellectual tools and the artistic skills needed to hit the ground running. He arrived on the scene during a perfect storm of technology and public sentiment, between the end of the "Gilded Age" and the beginning of the "Progressive Era."
