A House That Defies the River
In the rain-soaked Oregon Coastal Range, the Stamper house stands as a monument to defiance. Unlike every other structure that respectfully retreats from the Wakonda Auga River's hungry waters, this two-story home juts defiantly into the current, reinforced with logs, cables, and cement bags-a physical manifestation of the family motto painted above their door: "NEVER GIVE A INCH!" This defiance extends beyond architecture to the novel's central conflict. While the entire logging community of Wakonda has gone on strike against the powerful Wakonda Pacific company, the Stampers continue operating their independent logging business, honoring their contract rather than joining the union walkout. The town's hatred culminates in the novel's opening image: a severed arm hanging from the Stamper house, middle finger extended toward the gathered union men across the river-a gesture that encapsulates the Stampers' brutal individualism that refuses to bend to community pressure.
