The first adventure in a brand new mountain man series from Ash Lingam! When Brick Hammer left Illinois, it was because he had no reasons left to stay. His father had died the year before, and his wife and two children passed away from disease just before he sold everything, leaving him financially well off. With his newfound funds and no family to care for, he decided to complete a dream he had since he was a small boy—to become a mountain man as he had read in the nickel novels of Kit Carson and Davy Crocket. He left Denver heavily equipped and armed to the teeth. As he began seeking adventure, he trapped and hunted in the Rocky Mountains. While alone in the wilderness, he ran into an unexpected situation that would change his life forever. A wizened old man with snow-white hair cared for him until his health returned, and they forged a bonding relationship. Grizz Adam James had lived in his cabin, lost in the wilderness, for decades. Brick was near death when Grizz found him, and he adopted him as his apprentice; this is where it all began.
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.
