Johnstone Men on a Treacherous Trail. Riding Shotgun.
Settling the American West required true grit, fortitude, and when necessary, shedding blood. It also required men like Preacher and Mac Callister to enforce peace in a land where the law was scarce—and justice was delivered from the barrel of a gun . . .
THE DEVIL’S CROSSING
Wagon trains carrying immigrants along the Oregon Trail are falling prey to outlaws. Most families surrender their valuables and goods peacefully, but anybody brave enough to resist gets a bullet. The gang’s latest victim was a wagon master who sought to protect his charges only to die in the dust. With the blood of good men being spilled and families being terrorized, Preacher and Jamie Mac Callister volunteer to escort the next wagon train.
Preacher travels with the settlers while Mac Callister trails along at a distance, scouting for trouble. Their odyssey across the unforgiving territory takes them through violent storms and into the sights of hostile Indians. Battered and weary, the travelers are no match for the blood-lusting, trigger-happy gang—and Preacher is unprepared to meet the one outlaw he never expected to see again . . .
