    The First Mountain Man encounters an old friend—and several enemies—in this rip-roaring adventure from the legendary bestselling Johnstones.

    IN JOHNSTONE COUNTRY, MEN ARE AS MONUMENTAL AS THE MOUNTAINS THEY LIVE ON.

    While in St. Louis, Missouri, to sell furs, Preacher runs into Darius Clutterbuck, an old friend who left the Wild West for a more civilized existence east of the Mississippi. Married to the lovely—and wealthy—widow Maggie Tinsely, Darius is passing through town on his way to the Rocky Mountains to show his new bride and brother-in-law the beauty, wonder, and excitement of the American frontier.

    Maggie and her brother get more than they bargained for when they’re ambushed by would-be thieves. Luckily, Preacher is there to help Darius protect his family. Considering the lawless nature of the landscape ahead, Preacher agrees to accompany Darius’s family. But the outlaw gang tails them out of St. Louis, led by Erle Whitfield, a vicious killer itching to put Preacher six feet under should the First Mountain Man interfere with his plans. But Whitfield isn’t the only threat on the trail. A band of Blackfeet have a score to settle with Darius, and they’re not above slaughtering his new family.

    Determined to keep them all safe with his fast draw and deadly aim, Preacher is caught off guard by an enemy he never suspected . . .

    Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  

    He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.

    "Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,' he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'" View titles by J.A. Johnstone
