Return of the Mountain Man

Any novel by William Johnstone is good.This book is excellent- fast paced, believeable and makes you want to "be there".If you are looking for an honest, down to earth western, written about men who care for country, family and animals, then this is a book you will enjoy cover to cover. Justice prevails over the evil deeds of outlaws. I highly recommend this book.

This is another in the Mountain Man series that those familiar with Johnstone's work, and those new to the author, should definitely read. Smoke Jensen gets a letter from a relative while home at his ranch. He takes off, of course, to help out family. For those who keep track, it is 1882, and Smoke and Sally's twins are one year old. With the help of his old mountain man friends, Smoke saves the ranch for his cousins, brother and sister, and with his friends to help, a bunch of bad guys cease to populate the earth. Even his prissy cousin, as Smoke describes him, finally turns out to be quite a man after all. The story is just as exciting as all the others by Johnstone, and I highly recommend it.

I Enjoyed the return of the Mountion man The Preacher,Was one tought & very cool Man .that didn't take any Fool Hartedness He would try walk away .But the Bad guys would not have any of that walking away,So they keep on pushing striker1

William W. Johnston writes the best, hardest to put down series I've ever read. His books are facinating. They talk about men that my dad talked about when he'd tell his growing up stories.He could have been an old mountain man. This particular book, JOURNEY OF A MOUNTAIN MAN was the first one of the series I read.It takes place in Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Since I was born and raised in Montana and lived in all the rest of these states made the books even more readable.Then when I finished the book I went to the used bookstore I trade at and found many more of the series that had come before. I have not went wrong with any book Mr. Johnston has written. He has several series out such as THE BLOOD BOND SERIES, and THE EAGLES SERIES, and THE LAST GUNFIGHTER SERIES. They are all great reads. I just loved them all. They talk about the magnificent West and the totally magnificent men that populated it. The books display humor (in some),honor,courage, and chivilary. This is what being a man is all about as far as I'm concerned. My husband even read all the ones I found, too. He was a strictly a Louis LAMour reader. I was thrilled to have found something he could read and enjoy that was not a repeat. Myself included.

Johnstone's Mountain Man novels are so fast-paced and exciting, you have to catch your breath. This is classic writing!
