I enjoyed the Indian perspective. Good story. You don't read of many giant Mountain Men, found that part of the story very interesting. Looking forward to his next books.

Azariah takes a trip and Raging Bull meets a new friend.

Azariah and his friends, find out some Indiana women are kidnapped. They must find them fast before they are taken to Mexico to be sold. Three of the women turned out to belong to the Blackfoot Tribe, which are enemies of their Indian friends and the white trappers. Azariah decides to take the women back to their tribe, knowing that he and his fiends could be killed. This is another wonderful story about their journey and all they go through, while Raging Bull and the others stay at rondevous. During this time Raging Bull meets a women, he is interested in. Will he decide to marry again this is another great story by Leroy Peters, and I am looking forward to his next book.

Tried skimming over names

I absolutely loved the first book and gave it five stars. I started this book, and in the first chapter, I found names of. Horrible American serial killers having existed during those times and read about the Crimes, I know them. I read books to get away from the realities of life sometimes. I get into another world all of those names all together as bad guys in a western., Literally reminded me of the crimes and make me ill. I cannot read this book. Note to author, please use generic names. The storyline is good those names bring back. Terror in the minds of Americans and anybody else who has read about them. They don’t deserve any more infamy. We are trying to forget them ! I will begin book three and hope it is not similar because I really enjoy your writing and the stories. I can actually feel anxiety even reading these names, so please leave them in the past. Perhaps an updated version and what you remove their Smith Smith, Jones, etc, types of names your readership will immediately increase greatly.

Too much religion

While I know that 19th century folks were a superstitious lot, it gets tedious when an author of mountain man tales inserts constant references to imagined dirties mixed up in the affairs of humans. Surely mountain men of that era living on a razors edge of survival recognized the folly of the religious dogma they left behind to forge their own paths in the great American wilderness’s.

Disappointment

Putting in the names of Bundy, Dalhmer, Gasey, horrible serial killers into your book made me sick. Even if the so named characters were bad men. Do not recommend this book,

Colour of skin, century of birth, country of birth human beings will always challenge each other through strength of survival.

Colour of skin,century and country of birth humans will always challenge each other. Greed,jealousy,lacking pride is the ultimate death sentence.
