Trappers Law: A Mountain Man Adventure

by Dave P. Fisher

Back by popular demand! The fourth adventure in an exciting series from Dave P. Fisher!Who would be foolish enough to bring a woman, and two little girls, out to the wilderness filled with dangers, and hostile Indians? That’s what the trappers in Travis Walker's party asked when Nathaniel Wyeth set up his camp at the Ham’s Fork rendezvous. With him were trappers, and a collection of missionaries, headed for the Oregon Territory. In that group was Morris Young, with his family. Two days later, they pulled out.Then, Wiley Thompson showed up guiding Sedrick Norton, a pilgrim through and through. According to him, Young was a murderer and a thief, and he had come to bring him back to Missouri. His story didn’t ring true to the trappers. Why, would a man on the run from the law, bring his family? They decided to follow Wyeth’s party, not only to protect the woman, and her children, but to get to the bottom of Norton’s claim against Young. Further north, on Portneuf Creek, the truth comes out, and trapper law became judge, jury, and executioner.

About the author

I have been a writer of adventure novels of the Old West. I have now branched out to writing contemporary crime novels with a suspense/mystery base. What I feel makes these unique is that they are set in the modern West and Alaska, as opposed to exotic world and big city settings. They involve average people and local law enforcement agencies.

My writing influence comes from my ancestral roots. Mountain men, voyageurs, pioneers, and explorers make up the branches of my family tree. My paternal grandfather was Blackfoot Indian from Montana. My maternal grandfather was a Minnesota lumberjack, both men were born in the 1800’s.

As a lifelong outdoorsman I have inherited that pioneer blood and followed in the footsteps of both my families. I have experienced life in the Alaska bush, as well as the wilderness of the Rocky and Cascade Mountains, as a working cowboy, guide, horsepacker, hunter, and trapper.
I also spent several years as a Colorado Deputy Sheriff. This experience in the law enforcement field allows me an intimate insight to the system that I weave into my new crime genre stories.
I incorporate all of my experiences into my stories to ingrain them with authenticity and draw the reader into the story by their realism and a personal knowledge of the people and lifestyle involved.

I have near to 500 fiction and non-fiction works published. Included are: 19 novels and short story collections, 70 short stories, and inclusion in 18 anthologies. I am the first 3 time winner of the Will Rogers Medallion Award, in 2008 for Best Western Fiction, and again in 2013 for Best Western Humor, and 2014 for Best Western Novel. Nine of my short stories have earned Reader’s Choice Awards.

A Mountain Man Adventure book 4

The Mountain Men are concerned about a woman and her 2 daughters riding through very dangerous territory. They can not understand why a man would bring females to the wildrrness. Travis, Nick, and Martin are still hunting and trapping together and helping out people that cross their path. Love these mountain men and their form of justice.
Plus these Mountain Men feel like my friends, I really Love the characters they sure do make me laugh.

The justice in trappers law

Harsh but more just than so called civilised law. Didn't suffer fools, murderers, women and children abusers, or thieves. Great stories to make us feel better in a society that protects the guilty. Highly recommended for all readers.

Best one yet

Of the three I'm the trilogy I think this was the best. Travis and company tracked the bad guys across the country and killed them all.

Trappers Law was the best book of the Travis Walker Mountain Man series so far. Good ending.

Excellent tale

This story has twists that are unexpected. But the verbal jabs by the mountain men are hilarious also. Eighteen nineteen rwenty words.
