Siskiyou Trail: A Classic Western Series

by B.N. Rundell

Bestselling author B.N. Rundell continues the thrilling western classic, following Elijah McCain on his life’s journey to fulfill an impossible promise…

Amidst the growing chaos of the post-Civil War America, former Union Colonel Elijah McCain is on a mission to find his deserter stepsons. Going through more struggles than he thought possible—maybe more than when he was a general in the war—McCain finally locates his stepsons, only to have them flee the civilized East in favor of the adventurous West.

When their reckless decisions begin to catch up with them and they’re kidnapped and thrown aboard a clipper ship, McCain is forced into action in order to save them. As fate would have it, he finds himself traveling down the Siskiyou Trail, a path littered with Mexican banditos, lost Danish settlers, and a disgruntled tribe of displaced Native Americans.

Despite the obstacles thrown in the path of this ruthlessly determined and retired colonel, McCain gave his word, and he will allow nothing—man, nature, or evil incarnate—to keep him from fulfilling his promise.

As McCain finds himself one step closer to fulfilling his covenant…he’s not sure what the cost will be. Prepare to be gripped by the non-stop action in this historical western novel, showcasing the grit and strength of one husband’s promise to his dying wife.

Together, B.N. and Dawn raised four girls that are now married and have made them proud grandparents.

Reviews

[Barry Jenkins]

This series is getting a little worn out. Its been good reading but just too long. Hope number six is the last of this series. I do reallw enjoy Rundell's books just this series seems to drag on a bit. I've read most all of his books and rate them 4 or 5, especially enjoy reading them as they aren't loaded with profanity as many writers do

[LUAYNE]

Well, this continues Eli's search for his step-sons. E!I meets many people, has action packed encounters, and covers a great many miles while on this journey. He now has a wolf companion named Lobo. I truly hope the search ends soon.

Another awesome read!

Bro. Rendell is a amazing writer. I truly appreciate that in each of his books I have read, he lays out the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. Then he backs it up with scriptures. I believe he truly writes to please God and his readers.

Personal contact.

I would like to have Mr. Rundell contact me. If he attended college in Springfield, Mo., he and I probably have much in common.

Thank you,

Bob

No lack of challenges on this trail

Eli faces challenges from nature, 2-legged and 4-legged varmints with some scars to prove it. The twins get sidetracked by those wanting to harm and those wanting much more. Very enjoyable read.

Book #5

Great story, get better with each book. Eli has so many little adventures throughout each story which I think makes it even better.

Looking forward to reading book 6 and finding out if Eli finally finds his stepsons.
