Frontier Destiny
Book 4 and 7 in the First Mountain Man series. Preacher, The Epic Continues.
Omnibus edition.
A man learning as he grows, and fighting as he learns, Preacher builds a frontier legend in two classic bestselling novels in one: Forty Guns West and Blackfoot Messiah.

Forty Guns West
During a trip back east for a family reunion, Preacher’s wrongly accused of murdering wealthy landowner Elam Parks—and there’s a $5,000 reward. The fortune in blood money has dispatched a small army of bloodthirsty bounty hunters, and Preacher can’t think of a more scenic place to pick them off, one by one .

Blackfoot Messiah

A messiah shall lead them . . . to an early grave.

In the Wyoming wild, Blackfoot warriors prepare for battle, their bloodlust stirred by a legendary prophet promising victory in a war that will forever rid the plains of the white man. To legendary mountain man Preacher, it isn't a promise—it’s a threat. But being out-numbered in a savage frontier means justice will be as hard-earned and uncertain as . . . survival.

With a loyal Cheyenne as his guide, and a spirited Dragoon squadron for cover, Preacher forges up the treacherous Santa Fe trail. But the only way to win this war is to unmask the hell-raising Messiah whose godforsaken message is leading a desperate people into certain massacre.

William W. Johnstone writes a pretty good western. I've never been dissatisfied with any of his writing, and I'm still not. He's amazingly descriptive and it's obvious that he's done his research. Plus.......it's always nice when the good guys win. HA!
