HIGH MISSOURI (Rivers West)

the long version

A spiritual quest turns into an adventure of the West in this gripping installment in Western Writers Hall of Fame author Win Blevins’s breathtaking series about the discovery of America’s Northern rivers and mountains. 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 exhilarating life in the American wilderness. Among them is an innocent named Dylan Campbell. A would-be priest, Dylan signs up with the Nor’West Company to bring God to the Indians. But as he travels across the awesome plains of the West and up the mighty rivers hurtling down from the mountains, Dylan discovers worlds beyond all expectation. He encounters a mystical wanderer called the Druid and witnesses frightening acts of violence and carnality as well as paths of beauty and enlightenment beyond all imagining. - author's website
