Wagon Train: The Trail North

by Ash Lingam, Casey Nash

The second Western adventure in a brand new action-packed series from Ash Lingam and Casey Nash! In this second installment of Wagon Train, Slim Hardwood and his nephew, Walt, are now minus a wagon master, Willis Hardwood, who was killed in a recent Indian attack. But they must swallow down their grief and press on. The challenges facing these travelers are relentless. From wagon breakdowns, to inclement weather, to Indian attacks, to swollen rivers, and a host of other unforeseeable perils, the Hardwood wagon train continues rolling toward its destination. How many of the 200 travelers will survive and make it to their promised land? That remains to be seen, but there’s definitely fewer of them than when they began. Climb aboard for a trip of a lifetime. Experience what these earlier settlers experienced, but be sure to bring a weapon and plenty of ammunition along. A gut full of determination is also highly recommended. This untamed land is unforgiving. One slip up, one mistake, and it could be your last.

About the author

Ash 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.

If you were a fan of Paramount’s recent “1883” mini-series, you’ll love “Wagon Train: The Trail North.” It’s the second entry in a collaboration by authors Ash Lingam and Casey Nash. I’ve fallen in love with the lead character, Slim Hardwood, and can’t wait for the next entry.

getting better

Usage is getting better. Why “rain or come shine.” Why not “ come rain or shine.” Seems that we are from very different worlds.
