THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Uncharted. Untamed. Unforgiving. This is the epic story of the American frontier—and the trailblazing fur trappers who lived it, conquered it, and often died for it. Bestselling authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone take readers on an
unforgettable journey into the wild, where nature is cruel, fear is the enemy—and only the strong survive …

Luke Ransom was just eighteen years old when he answered an ad in a St. Louis newspaper that would change his life forever. The American Fur Company needed one hundred enterprising men to travel up the Missouri River—the longest in
North America—all the way to its source. They would hunt and trap furs for one, two, or three years. Along the way, they would face unimaginable hardships: grueling weather, wild animals, hunger, exhaustion, and hostile attacks by the

Five years later, Luke is a seasoned trapper and hunter, a master of his trade. The year is 1833, and the American Fur Company is sending him to the now-famous Rendezvous at Green River. For Luke, it may be his last job for the company. After
facing death countless times, he is ready to strike out on his own. But when he encounters a fellow trapper under attack by Indians, his life takes an unexpected turn. A new friendship is forged in blood. And a dangerous new journey begins …

Once you get past the "jape" and "chin jawin'" lingo the story is a very good one. Two fur trappers set out for Blackfoot Indian territory to trap beavers and run foul of Blackfoot Indians and one of their own members of a fur trading company. The story is very entertaining!
