Mayhem On The Oregon Trail
(2023)(Book 12 in the Levi Johnson: Mountain Man Scout series)
A novel by Ash Lingam
The twelfth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam!
Levi Johnson, Rusty Steel, and Captain Forrester find themselves at the Rendezvous when their old friend Yosemite Bob is shot and killed. The feuding Squirrel clan from Tennessee are the men responsible. The mountain men encounter the unexpected when they track them down to find the culprits. A small wagon train consisting of mostly women and children accompanies twenty men from the nefarious family. A conflict ensues, all hell breaks loose, and more mountain men die.
Sheriff Joseph Walker out of Missouri is taking a group of missionaries across the country to Oregon City. This excursion takes place only a year before the masses of settlers create the Oregon Trail and begin to head west in the tens of thousands. His trackers and scouts are lost in an unexpected incident at the junction of the North Platte and South Platte Rivers in Wyoming. He must leave his group of travelers with his trusted partner, Rory Breaker. They hold up on high ground until the sheriff can ride a hundred miles from the South Pass down to the Rendezvous. Where better to locate trackers and skilled frontiersmen to assist him on the rest of his journey? This is where such men gather in the hundreds every year.
Levi Johnson and his Crow wife, Dahteste, fight for their lives with the rest of the mountain men. Does the Crow war chief hold up against their enemies even when they are white? Will the strong-willed woman ever bend to Levi Johnson’s will, or will they find some common ground?
Captain Will Forrester is a changed man in more ways than one. His memory is back, but his character and personality whiffle. Time will tell if it is a good change or if the metamorphosis makes the soldier even more dangerous to his friends and enemies alike.
Genre: Western
