The only man who can lead a wagon train through the last leg of the Oregon Trail, Preacher knows they’re headed into renegade outlaws and bloodthirsty Indians. Somehow he has to get these pilgrims through safely – if he doesn’t want to be buried along the trail with the rest of them…
Very realistic and descriptive series, if you enjoy rough outdoors, survival in the wilderness and the plight of the settlers who went west to seek their fortune, the hardships they had to over come daily just to survive, you’ll enjoy this series and the main character “Preacher” you almost feel like you are sitting by a campfire with these characters …
I enjoy most all western books, i think they are by all, my favorite books to read.
This book traces the end of the frontier from the perspective if the mountain men. Rough, unsophisticated and uncouth, they nevertheless had values that ruled their conduct and greeted trouble straight up! A refreshing change from the current culture oh 21st century America, First Mountain Man forces your acceptance of the practicality of life in the frontier!
Good read.
Great book an easy read
Wonderful….can’t get enough of Preacher.
the mountain man series is great reading if you like a good western.
The book was pretty good. There are several errors and inconsistencies in the story line but otherwise enjoyable.

I always look forward to books by William Johnstone!
Good plot with historical references that give the reader a sense of how difficult life was during these times.

Great read page turner loved it
I absolutely LOVED IT!!
I believe it historically correct and very entertaining
Normally I don’t read these types of books and I’m not sure why I started this one . However I’m glade I did. The main character was bigger than life and well thought. through in his words and deeds, you were in the action at all times whether, fighting off Indians, bandits or the weather. If you like adventure in your reading, this books for you.
Violence abounds in this action packed novel. Too much violence, explicitly depicted, yet there may be a great deal of reality in it according to that time period in early American history. The characters were strong and stunning and kept my rapt attention. A super hero in the making. Guys probably love this book.
Great book of the west before the old west.
