A brand new Mountain Man adventure series from Casey Nash! This is all the excitement of the frontier from the author of “Gundown in Stillwater.”
Clancy Leon was a special cut of man, a member of an elite group of men known as mountain men. These gritty, salty fellows were the true pioneers that blazed trails across the frontier, who opened up routes for settlers coming from the east to settle the west. But the mountain man’s way of life was not for the faint-of-heart. Only the strong survived. Many tried, but few succeeded.
A native of France, the young Frenchman of fourteen boarded a boat headed for New York as a stow away. His family had been killed during the revolution ravaging his home land, so he had nothing keeping him there.
Leon yearned to try his hand at being a mountain man. He read everything he could get his hands on about this way of life, and, with each story, the fire in his heart only grew stronger.
Come travel alongside a young man who loves adventure, who fears nothing, and who makes his mark in the history books as one of the greatest mountain men who ever made his home in the High Country.
Through this collection of short stories, walk alongside young Clancy Leon in his early days and watch him become a man, a man respected by all and feared by many.
