A brand-new Western adventure sequel from Ash Lingam! In 1882, more than forty years had passed since Levi Johnson and Captain Forrester arrived at the Rockies and became Rusty Steel’s apprentices. Although they still have their cabins in the Beartooth Mountain compound, they spend much time waiting for new assignments in Colorado. Colonel Jackson calls the scouts to Denver to assist the cavalry on another hush-hush government mission. The rumors say it is to fight the Yellow Peril. When the immigration laws change, President Arthur signs the Chinese Exclusion Act. It provides a ten-year ban on laborers from coming to America to work. The government accuses the Asians of sending their earnings back home to support their families and not helping the local communities grow. The Idaho Territories is the most prolific, representing thirty percent of its population, although most live in California. Tirade gangs rebel, and Washington calls the cavalry to keep the peace. As Washington’s Nativists strongly supported the Chinese Exclusion Act, paper sons and daughters become common practice for the illegal immigrants tricking the government into believing they have blood relatives in the US, making them eligible immigrants. They purchase documentation from active Chinese gangs undermining the law. Washington orders the army to go to Idaho and seek out the leaders of these secret societies, and the Colonel hires Levi and the captain to assist.
Author
Ash Lingam is an Amazon Best Selling Author. He has written over one hundred novels and short stories in the Western genre. He has published nine series about the Texas Rangers, US Marshals, and Bounty Hunters, and his new additions to the Frontier & Pioneer Western Fiction—the Mountain Men series. Ash was born on a ranch in the Midwestern United States. It was during a time when Westerns were magical both at the movies and on television. As a boy, he collected Indian arrowheads in the fields and rode his horse, Sugar, in the woods as he played cowboys and Indians. From age twelve, he hunted to put food on the family table when his grandpa, Pop, gave him his first double-barrel shotgun—at eight taught him how to trap in our ponds and the creeks at the end of our property. Growing up in the country with horses and guns made the transition to an author of the Old West an effortless journey. Some say Ash Lingam is the fastest writer in the West. Ash says; When inspiration hits me, from when I open my eyes in the morning until I fall asleep at night, I let my fingers dance across the keyboards, anxious to see what will happen next in the story in my mind’s eye.
