Mountain Men Caleb Johnson and Bear Willis find themselves in the deadliest adventure of their lives. Ruthless speculators and hordes of fortune seekers are rushing to Colorado in the hopes of getting rich. These speculators have no regard for treaties or boundaries as they chase after gold and silver.
By chance, Bear and his son, Jamie, meet Caleb on the trail. Bear and Jamie are tracking down kidnapped Ute Indian girls. While Caleb and his wife, Flora, are heading to Leadville, Beaver and Jamie rescue the girls and return them to the Ute village. The Ute are thrilled at having their children back home. However, their joy is short-lived when they learn that white men are raping their land and killing their people in their quest for gold and silver.
Mortimer Latimer, a sleazy wheeler-dealer, has scored the biggest deal of his career, convincing wealthy businessmen to invest in his mining venture. Latimer has hired gun-slick Brett Rawlings and his band of cutthroats to protect his mineral rights at any cost. Bullets fly and knives flash as Bear and Caleb battle Rawlings and struggle to prevent an all-out war between the Ute and the settlers.
Writing has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream became a reality. I am honored to be part of Dusty Saddles Publishing, the leading publisher of Western Novels. Currently, I have several Western Series on Amazon: Chet Henderson: Texas Ranger Adventure Series, Bear Willis: Mountain Man Series, and Willie McGee: Mountain Man Series. Along with a co-write with my granddaughter.
In creating my Westerns, I wanted to do three things, be authentic, create likable characters, and tell a good story. With a lot of hard work and prayer, my books have been well received, so, I must be doing something right.
I live with my wife of fifty-three years and our cat Moxie on Rattlesnake Ridge. We are lucky that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandson all live close by. When I'm not writing, I enjoy woodcarving, fishing, and pampering my classic Jaguar.
I donate a portion of the profits from my books to Veteran charities, including the Veteran’s Independence Project.
Love this next in the series. Love the combination of putting the characters together to fight evil. Author weaves them together in a unique way to keep you turning pages. Could not put the book down. Highly recommend this book
I just loved Caleb and all the mountain men they just don't make good men like them anymore if our black men read about their heritage maybe they would try to be better men
