The twenty-ninth book in the Mountain Life Western Adventure series from Charles Ray!
When a wealthy easterner wants to acquire the land of an old mountain man to build a mine, the old mountain man tells him no. The easterner brings in a gang of hired guns to convince the old man to sell and they burn his house down—with him inside. Fortunately, the old man escapes the flames and goes to Caleb Johnson for assistance. Together, the two of them face off against long odds in order to protect the mountain man/s life and property.
I've been writing since my teens. In addition to writing for several newspapers and magazines in the US, Europe, Asia, and Africa, I've written two books on leadership and a number of fiction works. I'm also a published poet, photographer, and artist. I write in several genres, reflecting my broad reading tastes. I spent 20 years in the army, retiring in 1982 and becoming a diplomat. I've worked in about 10 countries and traveled to about 30 more, mining each for material to write about.
I have read every one of the "Caleb Johnson" books and enjoyed them all immensely!! Always plenty of action, tense moments, great characters and great storylines!! Hope there will be plenty more stories of Caleb, Flora, Dog and Sniffy to come!!
