Blood on the Divide (Preacher/First Mountain Man) Reviews
-
Preacher takes it upon himself to rid the West of the scourge of the Pardee brothers. A gang of siblings terrorizing pilgrims traveling the new Oregon Trail. A great cat and mouse chase through the Western frontier.
-
Preacher tracks a gang of rapists and killers through the wilderness (William W. Johnstone sure loved his rapey bad guys). Pretty good mix of humor and action, and a good change of pace from some of Johnstone's other series'.
The main negative here is that it was a bit silly when Preacher became "the first gunslinger". Johnstone knew how to write about one type of western hero I guess, and every one of his characters seem to eventually develop along those lines. -

Love this series and it’s narrator. Both are excellent. Never thought I would like western mystery but, I do.
Narrated extremely well by J. Rodney Turner. -
Definitely not for the faint of heart, this tale of an 1830’s mountain man in the unsettled west follows the adventures of Preacher in the final days before settlers moved from back East. The setting, the rough and tumble life, and the values of the time have a special place in my heart.
While some of the events and details are tough to read through the lens of today, I love that I recognize some of the places described. -
The second book in William W. Johnson, Preacher series. He is leading a wagon train of settlers over the Great Rocky Mountains into the Great Divide to Oregon. Through dangerous territories with indians, small groups of gun fighters and snow storms and providing safety for the members of the wagon trains, Preacher has his hands full. I love these stories these books they are outstanding and full of adventures.

The book drags on and on and on. It took me forever to get through this thing, and it felt as if it was twice as long as it actually was. The story itself isn't half bad. The bad guys are a little cookie-cutter though.
-
Preacher reluctantly does many good deeds in this adventure like saving "pilgrims" and ridding the countryside of outlaws. He has no qualms about flat out murdering the bad guys. I don't think you would either when you find out what they've done. On to book three....
-
Lives me some Mountain Man stories!
And this was a gooder. This is my second book by Mr. Johnstone and I really like his writing style. Anyone who enjoys historical fiction will enjoy this book. -
A good second book in this series
Preacher takes on outlaw gangs that never gets less than twenty-five men even though he keeps killing them. In the end he doesn't have to kill them all, but peaceful times don't come easy. There is a good hook for book number three in the end. -
Preacher shows no mercy.
-
Savage!
-
Great adventure, but very similar to the first book.
-
The vocabulary and wordiness relaxes me as a reader. Then "BAM" the horror of reality of this place in history.
-
Unbelievable action
Unbelievable action with completely outnumbered odds. Yet Preacher works nature a man inhumanity in his favor. I must start the next book yet tonight. -
Mountain men like preacher make me want to be a better man.
