The river of the West : Life and adventure in the Rocky mountains and Oregon; embracing events in the life-time of a mountain-man and pioneer: with the early history of the north-western slope, including an account of the fur traders ... Also, a description of the country. Joe Meek was one of the West's irresistible characters-dashing, devil-may-care, cheeky, irreverent, more fun than a playful grizzly cub. Meek comes down to us not as a myth, says Blevins, but as "simply a right kind of fella." It is our good luck that Joe knew how to yarn his mountain experiences truly and colorfully and with only a mite of stretching, and that he happened to cross trails with Frances Fuller Victor, who had the sense to see the worth of his tale as Joe told it-in the raw.
