William W. Johnstone (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 1997

During a trip back east for a family reunion, Preacher learns that even the civilized midwest can attract a motherlode of trouble...especially when a gang of local bully boys decide to pick a fight. Now wealthy landowner Elam Parks lies dead - and there's a $5,000 reward on the head of the man accused: the first mountain man. The fortune in blood money has dispatched a small army of bounty hunters after Preacher. Now, back in his once-peaceful homestead in the High Lonesome, as he sights down the barrel of his '33 Hall North breechloader, Preacher is ready for target practice. And he can't think of a more scenic place to pick off the bloodthirsty manhunters, one by one...

This review is from: Forty Guns West (First Mountain Man) (Paperback)

Preacher during a trip back East to visit family encounters some pompous [people]. He will not back down from them but choose to fight on his own ground. As he heads back west to the High Lonesome he leaves a trail a blind person could follow. Now he is home, comfortable and knows every sq. inch of ground. He is ready to make objects that go in a GRAVE.
