i think that the book was great. johnstone tell a good story about the blood brothers and how things were done in the old west.

The ride to rescue young girls from slavery

This is another of the stories in the series, and hard to put down once started. Matt and Sam Two Wolves discover that a slaver is working with renegade Indians to raid small towns and isolated farms and ranches, killing adults and spiriting away young girls. The girls will be sold to the captain of a cargo ship turned slave vessel, who will transport the girls to various countries where young American girls will bring large sums of money. They initially encounter Dick Wellman, an old mountain man, and his companion, Laurie, who is seeking her brother somewhere in the West. Dick is trying to find his granddaughter, Jenny, who has been taken by the Indians and presumably sold to Lake. They track the children to a fortress in Mexico, and with liberal use of dynamite free Jenny and the other young girls. Then ensues a series of encounters with the criminals and their Indian partners, during which Dick is killed. He had willed his ranch to Laurie and Jenny, and in the end Matt and Sam ride away leaving Laurie sad to lose him. This is a must-read for anyone who loves Western fiction.

Blood Bond- Brotherhood of the Gun.

Brotherhood of the Gun is the 2nd book using William W Johnston's two latest charactors and a most exciting tale, framed in the Arizona Territory during the Apache Wars. An excellent read for any lover of the old west.

Blood Bond

William W Johnston is one of my all time favorite authors and he has introduced two new story charactors in this book and carries them thru a very exciting tale of the old west, with focus on the Great Indian Wars of the 1870s on the great plains of Wyoming and Montana. Excellent read since it delves into actual history.

Blood Bond

William W. Johnstone has done it again. He has created a new set of characters to rate right up next to Smoke and Preacher. But this Blood Bond is of a different type than the two legendary mountain men, these are blood brothers. Two men, from two different worlds brought together through a bond of trust, and curiosity of each others ways. Matt Bodine, a son of a frontier rancher's family, and Samuel Two Wolves, an Eastern educated son of a Cheyenne War Chief and a White aristocrat. These men have a close, yet volatile kinship. Both are torn between feelings of respect for the "old ways" and the certain knowledge that those ways cannot survive the oncoming settlement of the West. A must for any Johnstone diehard. You will ride trails these men have ridden, and share in the kinship that they feel for each other. Well written, with strong character development. You will look forward to each new adventure these two brothers share in their, Blood Bond.
