The Return of the Mountain Man [Kindle Edition]

William W. Johnstone (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

William W. Johnstone's vivid, uncompromising novels stand as violent portraits of the rugged American frontiersman and the forces that forged him. In this powerful novel, Johnstone tells the story of a young Missourian forced by fate and violence into lawlessness--where he sees a chance to right the wrong that shattered his family and his soul. . .

Smoke Jensen is a young man raised on loss and bitterness, nurtured by a mountain man named Preacher. Now, Smoke Jensen, with his, a new black horse and an old grudge, slips over the unmarked border into the turbulent Idaho Territory. Ahead is a town called Bury, built on stolen gold, and run by a band of ruthless men who had a hand in the murder of Smoke's brother in the Civil War. Smoke's father died in pursuit of those killers, but urged his son not to waste his life in vengeance. . .

Swift, powerful and poetic, Return Of The Mountain Man is an action-packed tale by William W. Johnstone, an American master--and a great chronicler of our harsh and often unforgiving last frontier.

excellent book. one of the best of the newer ones. the earlier books written by william w like the eagles series had more indepth characters. You almost felt like you knew them. this book was not that involved in making you feel like you cared about them. this simply told a good story. Not a book I would read a second time, like i do the others. but a good read anyway

Any novel by William Johnstone is good.This book is excellent- fast paced, believeable and makes you want to "be there".If you are looking for an honest, down to earth western, written about men who care for country, family and animals, then this is a book you will enjoy cover to cover. Justice prevails over the evil deeds of outlaws. I highly recommend this book.
