JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. THE LAW OF THE LAST MAN STANDING.
His country burning with war, his family shattered, a young man strikes
off on his own and builds a legend with his fists, a pistol, knife, and
long gun. This collection includes the classic westerns Trail of the
Mountain Man and Return of the Mountain Man, long unavailable and
here together for the first time in one action-packed volume . . .
Where There's Gold, There's Blood, Bullets, and Smoke
When the Missouri farm boy named Jensen came west, he started fighting,
surviving, and learning every brutal step of the way. He learned from a
mountain man named Preacher. He learned from Indians. And from outlaws.
And he learned that nothing burns the souls of men faster than the lure
of glimmering gold.
From one ramshackle frontier mountain town to another, Smoke sees gold
strikes--and gold fever--drawing crooks and cold-blooded killers from
across the nation. Faced with an explosion of horrifying violence--along
with some demons from his past--Smoke has no choice but to lay down the
law. Once he does, it doesn't matter how many men and guns the outlaws
bring. Because if Smoke Jensen has learned anything, it's this: in a
vast, savage land, you don't back down, don't give up, and don't stop
shooting until the last bad man goes to his Maker.
