HTML: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 MacCallister 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 MacCallister volunteer to escort the next wagon train. Preacher travels with the settlers while MacCallister 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 . . . Live Free. Read Hard.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
Be prepared for an exciting tale that brings two beloved characters together once again to face the dangers of the wild west. Preacher and Jamie Ian MacCallister meet to help protect a wagon train on the Oregon Trail. There is one pass on the trail that is notoriously dangerous, Devil’s Pass, where an outlaw band attacks the wagon trains when the path narrows, leaving no avenue of escape.
Tom Linford is the scout on a trip with wagon master Ethan Prescott when the wagons are attacked. He alone survives and makes it back to civilization. When the next group of settlers are gathered to travel the Oregon Trail the wagon master, Simon Lash, wants to bring along some extra help. Joining the train to help deter any gangs from attacking, Preacher travels with the settlers heading west, while Jamie stays hidden as the rear guard. Only a few know of Jamie’s presence, and the community of travelers doesn’t know the man they are calling “Arthur” is really Preacher.
In a spell-binding story, readers will be entertained for hours. Preacher is one of the most well-known characters whose exploits in the mountains can be enjoyed by reading the series’ First Mountain Man. Jamie Ian MacCallister is the focus in the first couple books of the Eagles series. Putting these two tough frontier men together to battle a gang of at least 40 villains leads to tense and heart-stopping moments.
Whether you have read all the books in the series or not, this one is one of the most enjoyable. If you would like to read the Preacher & MacCallister series in order start with the following: Frontier America, They Came to Kill, and When All Hell Broke Loose. These two men are prairie smart, and both have fought to stay alive in some unbelievable situations. The ending of The Devil’s Crossing was very touching and left me wanting more of Preacher and Jamie. I hope the Johnstones plan to bring them together for another adventure soon!
