JOHNSTONE COUNTRY: YOU’LL NEVER GET OUT OF THE WEST ALIVE.

From national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, a pioneering journey into the raw beauty and untamed dangers of the unsettled West, where the legendary American spirit is fired in true grit and bold determination.

Accompanied on his latest trail by his nephew Clint Buchanan, riding as scout, and cook Spud Williams, Scofield finds himself guiding a train of thirty wagons from Independence, Missouri, to the distant dream of Oregon.

It isn’t long before the pioneers fall prey to the hazards of the countryside, both natural and man-made. The rough currents of the Kansas River tear a family apart. A fur trapper threatens Scofield in a foolhardy attempt to win the affections of an uninterested lady. Sioux warriors attack the wagon train and slaughter without mercy.
