The second adventure in a brand new mountain man series from Ash Lingam!
An early blizzard hits the Rocky Mountains; Grizz James and Brick Hammer batten down the hatches to prepare to weather the storm. When they get four unexpected visitors in the middle of the worst storm of the year, things begin to go off the rails. The Crow chief, Aiga, is at death’s door, and two of the visitors try to give him a helping push to the other side. The result is three angry mountain men hell-bent on revenge despite the weather. The chase is on for the town of Twins Springs down the mountain, where the culprits seek their escape.
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.

Great story of the continuing growth of a young man, schooled by a older man Love the way the author weaves the stories together and the struggles and challenges the characters face in the mountains
The first book was great, but the second book of the series was even better. Anyone that reads this, I'm telling you that you have to read this series. On to book 3 for me. I'm so glad I decided to take a chance on the first book of this series.
I like the way the mountain men took charge of the scalpers . I like knowing, that most times good beats cowardice evil . I am enjoying the series , this far . Easy to give a 5 star .
