Here is a story of the discovery of America’s northern rivers and mountains in all their awesome power. The High Missouri rolls as a true saga of adventure and a spiritual quest. 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 the adventure!” –Gil Bateman, Co-founder of Wyndham Hill Records

About the Author I came naturally by my yen to wander far places, physical, imaginary, and spiritual... -"Win Blevins" Win Blevins, of Cherokee, Irish and Welsh descent, is from a family that was on the move, always west. Win's childhood was spent roaming, his dad a railroad man. Win went to school in St. Louis, and the family spent summers in little towns along the tracks of the railroads. He listened to the whistles blow at night and wanted to go wherever the trains went.Seldom has a young man been in more of a hurry. Using scholarships, Win ran through a succession of colleges, receiving his master's degree, with honors, in English from Columbia University. He taught at Purdue University and Franklin College, then received a fellowship to attend USC. Win became a newspaperman - a music, theater, and film critic for both major Los Angeles papers. In 1972 he took the big leap-he quit his job to write out his passions-exploring and learning wild places-full time. His greatest passion of all has been to set the stories of these places, their people and animals, colors and smells, into books.Win climbed mountains for ten years. A fluke blizzard caught him on a mountaintop and froze his feet, an end to climbing mountains, but not to exploring them. He's rafted rivers in the west, particularly the Snake and the San Juan, and was briefly a river guide. His love of the great Yellowstone River gave him a fine appreciation for the people who first loved these wild places. Along the way, Win lost the use of his legs and learned to sail, deciding a boat was a good place for a man without legs. He regained the use of his legs, and maintains his love of the open seas. His first book, "Give Your Heart to the Hawks", is still in print after thirty years. Other works include "Stone Song", a novel about Crazy Horse, for which he won the 1996 Mountains and Plains Booksellers Award and the 1996 Spur Award. He's written 15 books, including a Dictionary of the American West, numerous screenplays and magazine articles. He lives quietly in the canyon country of Utah. His passions grow with time-his wife Meredith, the center of his life, their five kids and grandkids. Classical music, baseball, roaming red rock mesas in the astonishing countryside, playing music He considers himself blessed to be one of the people creating new stories about the west, and is proud to call himself a member of the world's oldest profession-storyteller.
