About this ebook

The Greatest Western Writer Of The 21st Century

From America's most popular, bestselling Western writer, each novel in this brilliant new series follows the trail of a different gun--each gun with its own fiery story to tell.

On the American frontier, every gun tells a story.

A boy in Texas waits for a Christmas present he chose from a Montgomery Ward catalog. The present, a brand new, lever action Winchester 1886 and a box of its big .50-caliber slugs, never makes it there. Instead, the rifle is caught up in a train robbery and starts a long and violent journey of its own--from the hands of a notorious, kill-crazy outlaw to an Apache renegade to a hardscrabble rancher and beyond. But while the prized Winchester is wandering the West--aimed, fired, battered and bartered--Deputy U.S. Marshal Jimmy Mann is hunting for the outlaw who robbed the train in Texas. The only clue he has is this prized and highly coveted weapon. What stands in his way are storms, Indians, thieves, a lot of bloody deaths--and a merciless desperado just waiting to kill the lawman on his trail...

    Title: Winchester 1887Author: William W. Johnstone & J. A. JohnstonePages: 352Year: 2015Publisher: PinnacleMy rating is 5 stars.The story of the Winchester continues with the family named James Mann and the rifle given to him by his uncle which we read about in the previous novel Winchester 1886. Here we see the young man called Jimmy leave during the night with his Winchester and the badge his uncle bequeathed to him in his pocket. Now, in the light of day, his father sets out to bring him home after becoming aware of Jimmy’s absence. What he father encounters reveals his past before he got married and settled down.All Jimmy wants to do is to be like his uncle James and become a law man. From the moment he leaves his home danger lurks around every corner. Jimmy, though single-minded, is definitely a green horn which is quite evident when he hops a train and runs smack dab into trouble! From here on out the adventure begins, but so does the danger when Jimmy unknowingly hooks up with a whiskey runner in the Indian Territory!In the era where life caused children to grow up very quickly and life being precarious is a characteristic of the old west. I so enjoyed following the Mann family, learning about their life experiences and the how duty-bound Jimmy felt to follow in his uncle’s ways. Another aspect of the book that I liked was the passing down of knowledge of how to live on the frontier and how to be a lawman.I highly recommend both Winchester 1886 and Winchester 1887. If possible, read them consecutively as the tales will bring hours of enjoyment! Keep on riding toward the setting sun partners!Disclosure of Material Connection: The above represents my opinion.
