Win Blevins (Author)
After starting as a critic for each of the two big LA newspapers, I quit to jump at my first chance to write a book. It was GIVE YOUR HEART TO THE HAWKS, now in print for more than forty years, and recently on the NEW YORK TIMES best-seller list. Three dozen other books have followed, including STONE SONG, the story of the life of Crazy Horse. That led me to become a pipe carrier and to walk the red road, an adventure I'd never dreamed of.I've also sold a stack of screenplays and have two more books in the pipeline. I've won the lifetime achievement award of Western Writers of America, and am in the Western Writers Hall of Fame.After years of writing, climbing mountains, and running rivers, I married novelist Meredith Blevins, and we built a home among the Navajos in the wilds of the Utah canyonlands. We love each other, our kids and grandkids, writing, music, hanging out with our Anglo and Navajo neighbors, more writing, and riding the wild roller coaster of life.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

Filled with raw adventure, the joyous story of life in the untamed wilds of the American frontier continues. In this second volume, Joe Meek comes to light as pioneer, sheriff, US Marshal, and legislator.

Through his wondrous adventures, he becomes an important part of Oregon's formative years, as well as that of the entire Northwest. Authentically human, Meek details the struggles of women, Native Americans, missionaries, trappers, early settlers, explorers, and the Hudson's Bay company, and how they all came together to shape a territory—and finally a state.

With vivid descriptions of the wilderness and Meek's unfiltered observations, Win Blevins brings to life a bygone era of adventure and danger in this colorful memoir. Drawing on Meek's own writings and historical accounts, readers are sure to be immersed in the heart-pounding excitement of the Western frontier.

“Joe Meek’s recollections are a barbaric yawp of joy…”—Lee Nash, of George Fox College. .
