• High Country: A Novel, by Willard Wyman. High Country is about the packer’s business guiding mule trains into mountains where wagons can’t travel, a life of danger, long days, and low pay. But for those wedded to the wilderness and inaccessible high country, it is the only life there is. Writing in the tradition of Norman Maclean’s A River Runs through It, Willard Wyman, "Packer Bill," shares techniques of breaking and packing and leading animals into forbidding country, hunting and tracking, and making camp. Packer Bill has been a wrangler, guide, and packer in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness and the Sierra Nevada High Country for over forty years. He has also taught literature and been a dean of students at both Stanford University and Colby College, and is Headmaster Emeritus of The Thacher School. Presently, he resides in the coastal range of Northern California.
