Reviews

""[A] remarkable mountain man hero...Titus Bass is a believable, enduring character...This bloody tale of a man who values his family's safety above all else is one of the most evocative and powerful books in the series. Bass fans will be energized by the novel but sad to see the last of the old mountain man."" -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""Titus and his family...face dangers from the land, the weather, and, most of all, their fellow man...Johnston's popularity stems from his skill in evoking the feel of the period and the fierce independence of the early explorers. Fans of Titus Bass will be glad that this latest work is out but sorry to see the series end."" -- ""Booklist""
