The fifth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam! Levi Johnson and ex-Capt. Will Forrester hunt for winter food while the other six mountain men prepare more than fifty beaver traps for the winter. After bagging an elk, they find tracks of a dozen travelers at the very end of summer. It wasn’t the time of year to be climbing into the mountains. Beside the tracks of humans are those of a large pack of wolves. Even they were feeling the effects of the scarcity of wild game. Somebody printed in the Old Fort Boise newspaper that a miner had struck it rich in the Rocky Mountains. Nobody’s name was mentioned, nor were any exact locations printed. Of course, the Rocky Mountains ran from Canada all the way to New Mexico. It could be anywhere, but the locals headed for the closes places they knew. Gold fever spread through the settlement like chicken pox and people begin to do stupid things.
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.
