THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

The first book in a magnificent new series by America's best-selling Western writer: Here is the towering saga of Breckenridge Wallace, a new breed of intrepid pioneer who helped forge a path through the wild American frontier....

THE FRONTIERSMAN

In Tennessee, 17-year-old Breckinridge Wallace knew the laws of nature. When his life was in danger, he showed a fearless instinct to fight back. Killing a thug who was sent to kill him got Breckinridge exiled from his Smoky Mountain home. Brutally wounding an Indian attacker earned him an enemy for life.... Now, from the bustling streets of St. Louis to the vast stillness of the Missouri headwaters, Breckinridge is discovering a new world of splendor, violence, promise, and betrayal. Most off all, he is clawing his way to manhood behind the law of the gun. Because the trouble he left in Tennessee won't let him go. A killer stalks his every move. And by the time he joins a dangerous expedition, Breckenridge has only had a small taste of the blood, horror, and violence he must face next - to make his way to a new frontier....

I really enjoyed this book. Even though others say it's boring and stereotypical, it had so many twists and turns. Some things I could expect and others I couldn't which made it balanced and enjoyable. It is very fitting of the time period so things may seem stereotypical, but that's how people lived then. This book was very interesting and kept me invested in the mc's journey. At first it seemed like a book for guys but it's rugged nature really grew on me and so did the narration which I hated in the beginning. love!

Can't wait to read the next one

We’ll done realistic western frontier story. Breckinridge is a character you can’t help but like and root for even though he makes dumb decisions sometimes. He’s a magnet for trouble following him wherever he goes but that keeps the entertainment factor high. It’s hard to stop listening and you’ll find yourself continuing well into the wee hours of the morning! If you love western frontier stories, this one does not disappoint.

Non stop action!

While it follows the real life story of Simon Kenton in many ways, it’s a wonderful story combining many early Frontiersmen legends and stories. Narration is real good!

Excellent “fiction”

I enjoyed this story very much except that I felt thrown off by the title. As the story unfolds I expected the young man to become a frontiersman. The bulk of this story is about the adventures of his flight west as a fugitive from an unjust murder accusation. His goal is to become a frontiersman in the Rocky Mountains, earning his living through trapping.
He travels all the way to the Great Plains where he decides to return home after receiving a letter from his brother.
After visiting his family he soon leaves home again on a new set of adventures where, I suppose, he will one day fulfill his goal.

The title is a bit of a misnomer but great story otherwise.

With all the trouble in the world, this book will take you away to another time and place. I enjoyed listening to it; the narrator was fine.

I was not too sure about this books narrator but he grew on me. The story line was decent. I do think it was worth it to listen too although the ending leaves a bit to be desired. Overall good book.
