Reviews
"Win Blevins has long since won his place among the West's very best." -- Tony Hillerman "His gritty fiction brings to mind the the fur-trading novels of Frederick Manfred(Lord Grizzly, 1954) and Vardis Fisher(Mountain Man)." --Kirkus Reviews on Beauty for Ashes "[An] entertaining, vivid portrait of frontier America as seen through the eyes of an impressionable youth."--Booklist on So Wild A Dream "So Wild a Dream is a fabulous beginning of what promises to become a classic series that will be on college reading lists in history classes studying the fur trade era." --Roundup Magazine "Blevins possesses a rare skill in masterfully telling a story-to-paper. He is a true storyteller in the tradition of Native people." -- Lee Francis, Associate Prof. Of Native American Studies, University of New Mexico "One of the finest novels to come out of the American West in a long time...an amazing book, grandly conceived, beautifully written..."-- Dallas Morning News on Stone Song

Synopsis
When the enigmatic Jedediah Smith, greatest of the mountain men, puts together a brigade of trappers for an expedition into the unknown territory of Mexican California, Sam Morgan joyfully joins up. With his Crow Indian wife Meadowlark and his coyote pup at his side, Sam sees the expedition as a chance for adventure -- and wealth. Captain Smith leads the group south in search of the the Buenaventura, a great river believed to connect the Great Salt Lake to California, but when the river proves to be a myth, the trek toward the Pacific becomes a nightmare. Like ghosts they struggle into the San Gabriel Mission in southern California and there recuperate, but the Mexican government eyes them with suspicion and Sam and his companions are forced to flee back into the Mojave. When Meadowlark falls ill, Sam learns the poignant meaning of the words of his mentor, Hannibal McKye: Life is like a golden bear. It's magnificent, it's beautiful, and it bites., When the enigmatic Jedediah Smith, greatest of the mountain men, puts together a brigade of trappers for an expedition into the unknown territory of Mexican California, Sam Morgan joyfully joins up.
