FRONTIER AMERICA

As the father of a young Crow tribesman, Preacher would like nothing more than to see the long-time natives and newly arrived settlers live together in peace.

Then the killing starts . . .

As a family man and frontiersman, Jamie Ian MacCallister is more than happy to help the officers at Fort Kearny negotiate a peace treaty with the Crow nation

Until it all goes to hell . . .

This is not the American dream they were looking for. This is a nightmare. A brutal, blood-drenched frontier war that two heroic men must fight and win--or one struggling nation will never come together.

For liberty and justice for all . . .

Thank you Goodreads and Kensington Books for a chance to read Frontier America!!

This is the first book I have read by William W. Johnstone. I was not disappointed in the least. I enjoyed the story line. The characters held my attention and the history lesson was a bonus. I am looking forward to reading more of his books. Happy reading everyone!! ( )

Title: Frontier America (A Preacher & MacCallister Western #1)
Author: William W. Johnstone & J.A. Johnstone
Pages: 384
Year: 2019
Publisher: Pinnacle
My rating: 5 out of 5 stars
What a wonderfully fresh and exciting start to a series that includes two well-known characters from the Johnstone arena, Preacher and Jamie MacCallister! These two men have met before in previous stories, now here they are on the frontier facing insurmountable odds in defeating a foe bent on revenge! On top of that, there is a young lieutenant out to obtain glory for himself that just might get these two frontiersmen and some of the Unties States Army killed!
Jamie MacCallister is on the army post gathering supplies for his trip back home to his wife and kids when he runs into a sergeant who loves nothing more than brawling. Now, sitting in front of the post’s captain, he is asked to join a mission as a scout. Jamie is ready to make up his mind when he sees someone that very quickly impacts his choice on whether to be a scout or not.
Here is the first book in a new series that readers will really enjoy reading! The frontier is still wide open. There are wagon trains getting too close to a village of Crow Indians. While the members of the tribe aren’t known to seek trouble, they are known for not shying away from a threat. Preacher and Jamie meet up again when the army is tasked with asking the tribal chief to meet with members from Washington with the hopes of signing a treaty.
The tension builds in the story from various directions and all converge to bring the novel to a very exciting and active conclusion. Preacher and Jamie are but two of the interesting cast of players that intersect many times in the adventure. Readers will wait with bated breath to see if there will be war again on the frontier due to a couple of nefarious characters who are out for revenge and glory for themselves regardless of the cost to others.
Frontier America is outstanding and entertaining, so grab a copy and enjoy an afternoon on the wild frontier!
