Smoke Jensen faces off against Major Cosgrove, a deadly town bully who has laid claim to Smoke's late sister's Montana estate, hungry for its gold.

Gold Rush The gold-mining town of Red Light, Montana is the kind of backwater hole less famous for the folks that live there than the ones who die there. Like Janey Jensen, Smoke Jensen's sister. Smoke never would have come back if it hadn't been for her estate. But that isn't the only thing the Last Mountain Man's got to settle. . . Blood Rush There's also the score between him and Major Cosgrove. The man who owns Red Light—lock, stock and barrel—is six feet of trouble looking for somebody like Smoke to bring out the worst in him. It seems Janey's land is worth a small fortune—and Cosgrove is laying his claim. All that stands between Cosgrove and the gold is an avenging gunslinger with a blazing .44—and a damned good reason to use it!"

Johnstone's classic The First Mountain Man series finds Preacher leading a wagon train of settlers into the Rockies--and through dangerous territory.
