Journeys
(2023)(The eighth book in the Levi Johnson: Mountain Man Scout series)
A novel by Ash Lingam
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 year: 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.
