Mountain Man Apprentice: Hidden Valley: A Mountain Man Adventure
The fourth adventure in a brand new mountain man series from Ash Lingam!
Your three favorite mountain men have never seen the likes of this in the Rocky Mountains. When Grizz, Brick, and Jimmy White Bear come upon a pompous British lord—and a massive entourage that includes his beautiful daughter, his two other adult children, a cook, numerous servants, and a phalanx of bodyguards—they’re plumb gob-smacked. Who the heck travels through dangerous Indian and bear country like that?
The mountain men soon learn that Lord Basil Rupert Brandyberry II (don’t dare call him “Mister”) is a worldly big-game hunter who has bagged deadly prey across the globe, from rhinos to tigers. Now, in the summer of 1824, he’s come to the Rocky Mountains in search of the last—and possibly deadliest—creature on his bucket a grizzly bear.
Lord Brandyberry hires Grizz, Brick, and Jimmy White Bear to help him take his grizzly, and the mountain men soon learn that the nobleman is every bit as pompous as they thought, and that nothing, absolutely nothing, will stand in the way of his quest.

About the author
Ash Lingam
199 books22 followersAsh 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.

Mountain #4
Well, this book turned out to be just as good as the rest of the series. I still think #2 is the best of the series so far. I'm looking forward to reading more of this series, but I'm going to take a break and read from another series and het caught up on it. I'll be back to finish this series in a week or two. Happy Reading!!

Exceptional man in a young country
Growing up in the country, I can relate to the mountain men as we made do with what we had and lived without what some people call the necessities. This is a story of independent men who made their own way in a young country. Great stories!

In Mr. Lingam's story, the poor knighted Englishman reminds me of the Black Knight in the Monty Python movie "The Holy Grail". "Okay, we'll call it a draw". Well done and a very entertaining read.

You need a better editor!
Story line is good but poor use of English and words like their and there not used correctly is a bit annoying.

A good action story
This book has a little of everything. Elk, moose, Englishman, Indians, grizzly bears and so much more. Also, an easy read.
