Smoke Jensen, Matt Jensen, Falcon And Duff Maccallister—Together For The First TimeThey just wanted to get home for Christmas. . .but fate had other plans.It’s December 1890. A Texas rancher named Big Jim Conyers has a deal with Scottish-born, Wyoming cattleman named Duff MacAllister. Along with Smoke and Matt Jensen, the party bears down on Dodge, Kansas, to make a cattle drive back to Forth … a cattle drive back to Forth Worth. But before they can get out of Dodge, guns go off and a rich man’s son is killed.
Soon the drive turns into a deadly pursuit, then a staggering series of clashes with bloodthirsty Indians and trigger-happy rustlers. And the worst is yet to come—the party rides into a devastating blizzard, a storm so fierce that their very survival is at stake.
From America’s greatest Western author, here is an epic tale of the unforgiving American frontier and how, amidst fierce storms of man and nature, miracles can still happen.

Short quick read with a spiritual message. Would be a good teaching opportunity to read aloud with older children. I enjoyed the time period and location thecstory took place in.
Just a very refreshing western style book.
Loved this book but i like all of Johnstone’s works and I have read several. I like Zane Grey but I believe I like this author even better.
Kind of dragged a bit with all the different characters and locations being introduced. Could have streamlined some of those incidents. Overall, it was a pleasant read.
Just fun to read! Putting all the great western characters in this book was genius.
Thanks for a truly great western story.
