From Fort Laramie, land of Sioux and Cheyenne, to the empire of the Mormons in the shadow of tall mountains, and on to the Texas panhandle, where he will join the ranks of the Texas Rangers, the journey ahead will test Jonahs courage, cunning, and endurance to the limit.

Praise for the novels of Terry C. Johnston

CRY OF THE HAWK

This novel has the epic sweep of the frontier built into it.

Publishers Weekly

Will stain the reader with grease, blood, and smoke.

Kirkus Reviews

THE SON OF THE PLAINS TRILOGY

Terry Johnston is the genuine article when it comes to storytelling, but you can also depend on his having done his historical homework. His Custer trilogy is proving this significant point, just as his Indian wars and mountain man books prove it. I admire his power and invention as a writer, but I admire his love and faith in history just as much.

Will Henry, author of From Where the Sun Now Stands

[Johnston] has so immersed himself in the history of the Plains Indians and in Custers history that, were novels not his forte, he could very well write a book on Custer and his final battle to match that of Evan Connell.

Dale L. Walker, Rocky Mountain News

CARRY THE WIND, BORDERLORDS, AND
ONE-EYED DREAM

Johnstons books are action-packed a remarkably fine blend of arduous historical research and proficient use of language lively, lusty, fascinating.

Gazette-Telegraph, Colorado Springs

Rich and fascinating There is a genuine flavor of the period and of the men who made it what it was.

The Washington Post Book World

Slick with survival-and-gore heroics and thick with Northwest-wilderness period detail (1820-40), this gutsy adventure-entertainment is also larded with just the right amounts of frontier sentiment.

Kirkus Reviews

Johnston offers memorable characters, a great deal of history and lore about the Indians and pioneers of the period, and a deep insight into human nature, Indian or white.

How solemn and beautiful is the thought that the earliest pioneer of civilization, the van-leader of civilization, is never the steamboat, never the railroad, never the newspaper, never the Sabbath-school, never the missionarybut always whiskey! Westward the Jug of Empire takes its way!

Mark Twain

The Texas Rangers had an off and on existence ever since 1823, when Stephen F. Austin formed a band of ten Rangers to protect the first American settlements from Indians. From that time onthroughout all their ups and downs, disappearances and reappearancesthe Rangers were irregulars. They were irregular as hell, in everything except getting the job done.

Oliver Knight

The more Indians we can kill this year, the less will have to be killed the next war.

General William Tecumseh Sherman

Destiny is nothing more than the unforeseen coincidence of events, the emergence into action of hidden forces which, in a complex and disordered society no contemporary can be expected to discern.

Guglielmo Ferrero

Prologue
Late summer 1908

H E CAME AWAKE with a struggle.

The overwhelming enemies were musky in their sweat-slicked red skins. Their heaving breath stank like rancid meat in his nostrils. The muzzles of their guns exploded in his face like the roar of riven earth on Judgment Day.

Still, his was not the sort of thrashing, physical convulsion someone suddenly awakened from a sound sleep might fight.
