If These Mountains Could Talk
(2024)(The second book in the Jonah Chamberlain: Mountain Man series)
A novel by LeRoy A Peters
A brand new Mountain Man sequel from Leroy A. Peters!
The spring of 1818 has finally sprung, bringing with it a season ripe for opportunity. John Caine and Virgil King, two ambitious young men, are determined to defy the warnings of impossibility that surround their path. The promise of riches and adventure calls to them on the wind, an invitation of glory that sails up the Missouri River. A fur trade that neither man had ever seen so grand—one that would set the stage for years of luxury and prosperity.
Jonah Chamberlain has amassed his own riches, his past nothing but a lingering nightmare of the society he left behind. Tucked away atop a mountain of solitude, Jonah has made a new life for himself with a new family. The Cheyenne, an indigenous tribe he has come to consider his own, welcomes him after he demonstrates unwavering loyalty and sacrifice on their behalf. He has found love, friendship, and even the possibility of growing his lineage. He no longer hears his name called by dangerous ventures. Instead, he has grown to be a family-man, his only expeditions those that provide food and supplies for his people.
As old friends, John and Virgil find Jonah and seek to disrupt his peace, relying on his knowledge to guide them through the land he has come to know so well. This proposition hides a crucial detail that the two men conveniently fail to mention as they grow their team: it is a journey through Blackfeet territory.
The Blackfeet—an indigenous tribe far less hospitable than the Cheyenne—defend their land and the creatures that inhabit it with bloodlust. Because of this, their territory is teeming with the beavers John and Virgil aim to trap for their trade. This untapped promise beckons with endless possibilities, but it also poses a dangerous challenge. Will the trio dare to enter the perilous land known as Three Forks, and who might they bring with them?
Join Jonah Chamberlain on yet another gripping adventure, one he never thought he would be pulled into again. As he embarks down this new path, is survival even an option?
