THE NOVEL THAT LAUNCHED ONE OF THE GREATEST MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES
The American West. A land wild and free and dangerous. Only a brave man dared accept the challenge of a harsh and unforgiving frontier. Gordon Hawkes was such a man. A man of courage. A man of strong will. A mountain man. This is his story.
The promise of a new life draws Hawkes and his parents away from Ireland to seek a new beginning. But the sea claims his folks and leaves him alone to stake his claim. Befriended by a Scots adventurer, Hawkes heads west. But trouble has a way of finding him.
Accused of murder in New Orleans and chased by bounty hunters in St. Louis, he is confronted with one harsh test of survival after another. In spite of the obstacles, he finds his true calling in the untamed western mountains. And it is here that his greatest adventure of all begins.
