   Started with Smoke Jensen, Sixkiller, Ben Savage and Perley Gates. I have to read every book! Now on First Mountain Man Preacher. I will be working on these books for months to read them all! I finish a book every two or three days.

   I love all of the frontier westerns by J.A. and Wm. Johnstone and would appreciate more being written in the Blood Bond Series and the Sixkiller US Marshall Series: love the humor, and although I myself am not indigenous, love the realistic view that not all indigenous were illiterate drunks.
   I started following the Johnstone books mainly for the incredible descriptions of geography and way of life in frontier days. I continue to follow their books today because the plots amazingly remain fresh and exciting.
