Levi Johnson: Mountain Man Scout: Wolves Gold: A Mountain Man Adventure
The fifth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam!
Levi Johnson and ex-Capt. Will Forrester hunt for winter food while the other six mountain men prepare more than fifty beaver traps for the winter.
After bagging an elk, they find tracks of a dozen travelers at the very end of summer. It wasn’t the time of year to be climbing into the mountains. Beside the tracks of humans are those of a large pack of wolves. Even they were feeling the effects of the scarcity of wild game.
Somebody printed in the Old Fort Boise newspaper that a miner had struck it rich in the Rocky Mountains. Nobody’s name was mentioned, nor were any exact locations printed. Of course, the Rocky Mountains ran from Canada all the way to New Mexico. It could be anywhere, but the locals headed for the closes places they knew. Gold fever spread through the settlement like chicken pox and people begin to do stupid things.

About the author
Ash Lingam
202 books22 followersAsh Lingam was born and raised in Southern Ohio, not far from the mighty Ohio River. He had somewhat of an isolated upbringing on a family farm with his sisters. His best friends were his horse, Sugar, and his grandfather.
Born in 1886, the family patriarch grew crops, raised cattle, and doted on the young boy. At his grandfather’s side, Ash learned about livestock and firearms at an early age. His grandad carried an old Colt with him at all times, helping spawn a young boy’s dreams of yesteryear.
Ash was only eight years old when his grandad taught him how to trap muskrats to prevent them from draining the farm’s ponds. He gave him a double-barreled shotgun at twelve and taught him how to hunt to put food on the table.
It wasn’t long before Ash was breaking horses. His spirited Tennessee Walker never allowed any other rider on her back. Together, they searched through the plowed fields in the spring, looking for Miami Indian arrowheads to add to his grandfather’s ample collection.
Ash’s family was among the early settlers in pre-Revolutionary America. He has traced his lineage back to around 1746 when his ancestors immigrated from Europe to the aspiring American Colonies.
A retired marketing executive, Ash devotes his spare time to training police dogs and writing novels. He has found his niche in the Western, historical fiction, and adventure genres. With his vast vault of experience, he never runs out of sources for new stories. He has lived in eleven different countries and worked in a total of forty-six,
To date, Ash has written approximately 130 novels, short stories, and poems. More than one hundred of his eclectic titles help the American frontier come alive for his readers.

The Making Of Mountain Men
This was a very well written story about eight men learning the ways of the Rocky Mountains, the Indians who lived there, and those who trespassed there in their search for gold. There was plenty of action and ongoing learning as those who were there became true Mountain Men. I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it!

becoming a series of short stories, not books
I enjoyed this writer so much that I went ahead and purchase the whole series after I read the first. Now that I’m on number five, I suddenly realize that they get shorter each volume and I feel that I’ve been suckered into a series of short stories at book price. Maybe maybe not

Not as interesting as 1 thru 5.
Dragged along too !ong.
Lots of repetitive stories about wolves and miners. Overall, this book was my least favorite of the five books I've read in this series.

Good books but...
I've never seen an author change characters names as willy nilly as this one.
And name dangerous animals in the Rockies to include leopards and jackals.
Stories are good but details get pretty skewed at times

When a newspaper article hints at good being in the Rockies. The Levi and the others mountain is soon covered with miners looking for gold. Making Rusty Steel and the Crow was chief very unhappy. Good book but not as good as the first 4.

Exciting
Wolves scare the sickens out of me. They made mountain life so challenging. Great work, Ash. Keep the stories coming.
