I loved this book and want to continue to read the rest in the series. I couldn't put the book down, waiting to see what was going to happen to this young, brave boy that grows into a fine man. I want to follow the story as his life unfolds, but want to keep them in order. I would like to thank the author for an exciting adventure of the true west, and hope there will be a happy ending to Art, the Preacher's life.

Really enjoyed this book. After reading all the Preacher books and almost all the Mountain Man Series, I felt that the author was repeating many sections in some of the books. Not this one! It tells the story of Preacher when he started out. So it was all new material. It was hard to put down!

A very interesting story which helps to set the stage for other books to follow in this series. A good stand alone tale but also the foundation to all in this series. Very believable events and interesting characters.

As a shooter of black powder weapons from this era I really enjoyed this book. The descriptions of shooting are very accurate and the fights are appropriately bloody and nasty. The use of double-shot pistols was a surprise but when I thought about is totally appropriate to the situations he would face. The Hawkins is a great rifle, not unlike the Lyman I shoot, but a .54, not a .50 caliber.

While there is a little contrivance to the plots, what would an adventure book be without some beautiful women? I look forward to reading more of the series.

the shipping was fast, the item in fine condition; and as far as I can ascertain, this item is the first of a long series of stories. I got this as a gift for my husband, who accidentally discovered that he radically enjoys Wm. Johnstone books.

Good Book Would like to read more. Please send a list of others
