Levi Johnson: Mountain Man Scout: The Last Rendezvous: A Mountain Man Adventure
The eighteenth adventure in a Mountain Man series from Ash Lingam!When the mountain men heard the fur trading companies cancelled the Rendezvous, nobody believed such a prosperous business could disappear in a single year. The prior summer of 1840 saw over five hundred trappers, fur traders, Indians, and hawkers attending. Only a few dozen puzzled trappers appeared when Rusty Steel, Levi Johnson, and their party arrived in Daniel, Wyoming, in 1841. They realized they had to sell their pelts someplace before they continued to drop in price and weren’t worth a plug nickel.The top hat market suddenly vanishes, forcing them to reconsider what they could do to earn a living. Against their better judgment, they found the only solution was to become buffalo hunters. They made this difficult decision, despite the feelings of the Indian tribes in Yellowstone Valley and the mountains above. They didn’t like white trespassers taking food out of their mouths.Levi Johnson, Rusty Steel, and friends head for the nearest trading post—a two-week ride to Fort Boise. After a kind welcome from a French Canadian, an old enemy recognizes Dahteste has her arrested and orders the Fort Boise commander to hang her at noon the following day. How will the mountain men rescue the same woman who saved them from Wood Duck and his evil gang?

About the author
Ash Lingam
197 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.

I loved it
Woe is the man who tries to harm Will Forrester's Crow wife, Dahteste. Take on one of the Rusty Steel clan, you take on them all and risk all you hold dear. I loved No. 18.
