Levi Johnson: Mountain Man Scout: Unforgiven: A Mountain Man Adventure
The thirteenth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam!
Rusty Steel and Angus McFarlin are in charge of getting the gold from the furs they sold at the Rendezvous back home safe and sound. Two thousand dollars in gold coins are in their leather pouches. The problem is that every crook and thief at the meet is tracking down and robbing the trappers who made big money and raced against time to get home before they were killed and their treasure stolen. Will the two aging mountain men return to their compound high in the Rocky Mountains safely? Or will they, too, be robbed along the way like many and die like their friends Pete, Bob, and Sam?
Levi Johnson, his wife, Dahteste, Virgil Lovejoy, and Captain Will Forrester sign on with Kansas Sheriff Joseph Walker to work as scouts to take a group of twenty missionaries across Wyoming and onward to Oregon City. In their way are a large group of Shoshone warriors who intend on stopping the trespassers. That and the rugged country threaten to thwart their intentions and stop them from crossing on what would come to be known as the Oregon Trail.
Betty, the niece of the famous frontiersman Davy Crockett from the Alamo, falls in love with Captain Forrester. Will she achieve her goal and make him fall in love with her, too, or are his demons too many for her to overcome?

About the author
Ash Lingam
199 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.

Great story
These Levi Johnson books are a re
al insight into life in the days when the first people were Kings of the whole of America and life of the mountain Ken in the Rockie mountains. How different America would be if the tribes were treated fairly. Will be waiting for book 14

I do enjoy!
Really did enjoy this episode. I feel that the editing could be better but that doesn’t change the fact that Ash Lingam is a really great writer.
