Description

"BREATHTAKING STORY!"- Booklist."Win Blevins' stories are free-spirited tales of mountain men and Native Americans searching for new homes. Told with bawdy humor, action, romance, and a good measure of the unexpected." -Elmer Kelton

A spiritual quest becomes a wild adventure! Dylan, a would-be priest, explores America's Northern rivers and mountains. A beautiful woman teaches him about love, lust, and betrayal. And a strange, white-bearded enemy instructs him about fate in this journey toward the legendary High Missouri River. Win Blevins is a New York Times bestselling author.

They came from civilization to wilderness, from the way of the Cross to the Path of the Sacred Pipe, from the wisdom of Europe to the experience of raw, dangerous, exhilarating life in the American wilderness. Among them was an innocent named Dylan Campbell. A would-be priest, Dylan signed up with Nor'West Company to bring God to the Indians. But as he traveled across the awesome plains of the West and up the mighty rivers hurtling down from the mountains, Dylan fell in with a mystical wanderer called the Druid.

Dylan discovered worlds beyond all expectation. He saw frightening acts of violence and carnality, yet walked paths of beauty and enlightenment beyond all imagining. At Fort Augustus a beautiful woman taught Dylan about love and lust and betrayal. Among the fierce and bloody Piegan Indians a strange, white-bearded enemy taught him about fate. And, in his quest toward the legendary High Missouri River, Dylan learned what it meant to brawl and scratch and struggle not only for your life, but for your soul.

Reviews "Rivers were the great highways into the West, and Win Blevins captures all their excitement." -Howard Hawks, director of Red River

"Win Blevins knows the mountain man years so well, he gives all his heart to doing what he loves to do best-tell a whale of a tale." --John Cooke, author of South of the Border and On the Road with Janis Joplin

"The mystical wanderer, the Druid, is an extraordinary character, and the most surprising. What a saga!"--Fred McCabe, Publisher, The Jackson Hole Guide "Early Win Blevins is just as good as Win Blevins today. Life in the mountains with the mountain men and those who explored first... Go along for this American adventure!" -Gil Bateman, Co-founder of Wyndham Hill Records
