Bear Willis: Mountain Man: Savages And Scoundrels: A Mountain Man Adventure

by Peter Alan Turner

It’s 1840, and Bear, his son, and their two Irish wolfhounds travel to Green River, Wyoming, for the Spring Rendezvous. Along the way, grizzlies stampede their horses, and Bear’s party is forced to hide their furs and walk to the Rendezvous. Upon arriving, they find out that the fur trade has fallen on hard times. The demand for beaver and the price per pelt are at their lowest levels ever. All the trappers and mountain men who have depended on the beaver for a living are looking for other ways to earn money.

Bear sends Smokey, one of his friends, back to recover their furs. But when Smokey fails to return, what was supposed to be a pleasant trip turns into a deadly game. Bear rushes back to their camp only to find Smokey dead. While Bear is gone, the Carlos brothers show up with Bear’s pelts. Bear returns to the Rendezvous, only to learn that the Carlos brothers stole his pelts and killed Smokey. Bear swears revenge and, in a rage, leaves the Rendezvous, searching for his friend’s killers.

To complicate things, Bear’s son, Eric, has fallen for Sara, the daughter of Blake Andrews, the owner of a traveling brothel. When Eric learns Sara has run away, he rides off searching for her. Bear and Eric finally join forces and, together with their fierce Irish wolfhounds, fight savages and scoundrels, not knowing this would be their last Spring Rendezvous.

About the author

Writing has always been a lifelong dream. Finally, at 71 years young, that dream became a reality. I am honored to be part of Dusty Saddles Publishing, the leading publisher of Western Novels. Currently, I have several Western Series on Amazon: Chet Henderson: Texas Ranger Adventure Series, Bear Willis: Mountain Man Series, and Willie McGee: Mountain Man Series. Along with a co-write with my granddaughter.

In creating my Westerns, I wanted to do three things, be authentic, create likable characters, and tell a good story. With a lot of hard work and prayer, my books have been well received, so, I must be doing something right.

I live with my wife of fifty-three years and our cat Moxie on Rattlesnake Ridge. We are lucky that our children, grandchildren, and great-grandson all live close by. When I'm not writing, I enjoy woodcarving, fishing, and pampering my classic Jaguar.

I donate a portion of the profits from my books to Veteran charities, including the Veteran’s Independence Project.

Good Story

It was a good story but I’m curious, what happened to The Viking’s two wolfhounds?
Did Eric or Bear get the money from the thieves? I’da gone thru the dead men’s pockets and saddlebags.

Thank you for a good read.

Again I have really enjoyed your work. Getting a bit bogged with repeating the earlier books. The editing still leaves much to be desired
