About This Item
Tamarack Books, 1995. Softcover. Like New. 6x1x9. Blevins portrays the incredible lives of such men as Jed Smith, Jim Bridger, Tom Fitzpatrick, and Bill Williams, while he looks for the greater story, the story of their experiences, rather than the political realities of their era.In his later life, Winfred Blevins has authored over 14 books, 4 movies, and innumerable articles. In his "earlier life, he has earned graduate degrees in English, American Literature, and Music Criticism, has worked as a college professor, then principal music critic, theater critic, and movie critic for the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. He says, "We are seeing, being created right now, a new western for a new, young, hip audience. Its heroes aren't cowboys and soldiers, but Indians, mountain men, women, blacks, Hispanics, Mormons, and all the other westerners who were shoved aside in the first myth. It's more complex, more interesting, more fully human than the old myth. It deals less with taming the country and more with living it. A lot of researching, thinking, dreaming, and story-telling will be needed to bring this myth into its own. I'm lucky to be one of the story-tellers doing it.
