The eighth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam! Levi Beaver Johnson and ex-Capt. Will Forrester decide to make a winter journey into the mountains to search for new springs to trap beaver. They do so despite Rusty Steel and Angus McFarlin frowning on traveling this time of a blizzard could pop up at any moment. But the Crow Indians had laid claim to the last place the young mountain men found with plentiful beaver. These were the same people who allowed them to live on their mountain. So, they forge new trails into the Rockies to look for new places to trap. Levi and Will trek deep into the wilderness—and the unknown. After two arduous weeks of travel, they finally find new streams and ponds flush with beaver. They have a trapper’s heyday, acquiring more pelts than ever. Now, Levi could show his older peers that he had outdone them all. He still felt he had to prove himself, despite being accepted as a mountain man by Rusty and Angus. Unbeknownst to the pair of friends, five scalpers had been watching them through a spyglass and planning to steal their pelts. They steal the valuable pelts, intending to sell them along with the scalps they took from the Indian villages they massacred. When Levi sees Dahteste, the Crow Indian woman held captive by the thieving white scalpers, he knows he must save her. The beautiful young warrior is a war chief of Rusty’s friend Hachta’s Crow camp. Her proud upbringing makes her deny her captives any show of weakness.

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.
