Johnstone books are always a treat for me. I feel like they are a reward for good behavior, I enjoy them so much. Their habit of including characters from other Johnstone series is like seeing your favorite aunt and uncle come visit and bring gifts. This book centers around Preacher, a mountain man with lots of history to share and not afraid of any challenge. Add in Jaime McCallister, patriarch of a large family with their own saga to tell, and you have a doubly good shot at seeing lots of action and heroism before this story ends. The characters and communities are so familiar, you'll feel as if you have gone back in time to fight along side them as they try to broker peace and save lives.

PREACHER + MacCALLISTER = DOUBLE THE MAYHEM

Two of the Johnstones’ most legendary heroes—the rugged mountain man known as Preacher and the Scottish clan rancher Jamie Ian MacCallister, here together for the first time—are forced to choose sides in a blood-soaked battle for the heart and soul of a nation divided . . .

FRONTIER AMERICA

As the father of a young Crow tribesman, Preacher would like nothing more than to see the long-time natives and newly arrived settlers live together in peace. Then the killing starts . . .

As a family man and frontiersman, Jamie Ian MacCallister is more than happy to help the officers at Fort Kearny negotiate a peace treaty with the Crow nation. Until it all goes to hell . . .

This is not the American dream they were looking for. This is a nightmare. A brutal, blood-drenched frontier war that two heroic men must fight and win—or one struggling nation will never come together. For liberty and justice for all . . .

My thoughts
Rating:4.5
Once again William W.Johnstone and J.A.Johnstone has done it again with a new series that just pulls you into the story and shows you what the west was about, and family as well, their characters always come to live and bring the story to life as well , and I'm not saying that because their one of my favorite author's to read . If you haven't read one of their books before now ,what are you wanting for.I want to thank Netgalley for letting me read it and review it exchange for my honest opinion.

Another great book in the preacher series!Follow preacher,and Jamie McCallister as they attempt to help the crow work out an agreement with the army to let settlers pass through their land on the way to Oregon.But as always happens a couple of flies get stuck in the ointment!This is a very good book,fast paced,full of the action that Johnston is known for.

I received this from Netgalley.com for a review.

Preacher and MacCallister meet up in this new series. The characters were very cliche and single sided, the good guys were good and the bad guys were very bad. But there is plenty of action and a bit of a history lesson. I look forward to the next book.

3.25 ☆

I've said it before, I'm a sucker for westerns and two of my favorite characters in one book... It could have been better but I learned some new stuff about Preacher and that is always good. I think that MacCallister is a little tame in this book but still it's a good read, it took only 2 sessions and then it was over.... i must thank #kensington and #Netgalley for giving me the pleasure of reading Frontier America by William W. Johnstone.

In William and J.A. Johnstone's latest in the Preacher series, Frontier America (Pinnacle 2019), Preacher is between dramas and takes this downtime to visit his son Hawk-that-Soars and his family in the Crow camp where they live. What Preacher doesn't know is that his good mountain man friend, Scottish clan rancher Jamie Ian MacCallister, is also headed toward this Crow camp also. His purpose is as a guide, helping the Army find the Crow leader so they can negotiate a treaty with the Indians that would allow settlers to pass through this wilderness in safety on their way to Oregon. Even before the two sides meet, neither trusts the other. The young Crow warriors want to kill all Whites before they destroy the Indian hunting grounds. The Whites think Indians are ignorant savages with no right to the land where settlers want to live. The problem only gets worse when an old Blackfoot enemy of Preachers decides this is the right time to settle her score with the mountain man.

If you’ve read previous Preacher books, you’ll be pleased that the massive Indian warrior and friend of Preacher, Big Thunder, is part of this story. I love this series. If I could give it more than 5/5, I would.
