Publisher's summary

They called him . . . Preacher.

He came west to the Rockies as a young runaway and grew into a legend among the already legendary frontier mountain men. They called him Preacher - a name that would become a monument to all who sought adventure in the savage wilderness of America's untamed west. The only man with the skills to lead a wagon train on the last leg of the rugged Oregon trail, Preacher knows they're headed into trouble. It's hard enough for a hundred greenhorns to survive the wilds of the northwest; being pursued by thieving renegade outlaws and Indians with a thirst for gold - and blood - makes it damn near impossible. Somehow, Preacher has to get these pilgrims through safely - if he doesn't want to end up buried along the trail with the rest of them . . . .

Great story

This was my first time with this author. An excellent story of our not too distant past. The narrator has the perfect voice for the reading of this series of old west stories. Great narrator.

The Western that all others strive to be

If your a fan of red dead redemption or old time westerns this is the open world adventure you need. Brutal action mixed with comedic moments leading to a brutal finish.

Great story Great narration

My husband and I were leaving Iowa for Colorado, Wyoming & South Dakota. I needed a book to keep his interest - THIS WAS IT!! After we got home we sat outside and discussed it. He is a muzzleloader hunter and was able to answer questions I would come up with while I drove the 2000 miles. It was so great we are planning on spending our evenings this summer sitting on the patio listening to the series.
