He will become a legend...

Before the legend of Preacher there was a man, and before the man there was a boy. In this thrilling new novel, William W. Johnstone tells the story of a young man filled with wanderlust and raw courage - who will someday become a hero.

...if he survives...

On nothing more than a lark, he leaves his family and begins a journey from Ohio westward. Along the way, he runs up against badlands and bad men, loses his freedom, gains his freedom, and learns the first rule of the frontier: Do whatever it takes to survive.

...Preacher.

With ruthless enemies after him - both white men and Indians - he'll head for a place as brutal as it is beautiful - the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Two years later, he will come back down from the mountaintop with new skills, and a new future as one of the most feared and admired men of his time...a man called Preacher.

Great book tell of young Arthur before he was the mountain man preacher. Very good read

Very good book

It was excellent, although not a genre that would normally interest me. Good story line, good narrator, and now I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. This book can be a good starting point for the series, although I haven't read any of the prior books, so that is just my opinion at this point. But well worth a credit or purchase.

I think this idea lead to who Preacher is works well! His coming into the wild is a great lead into the understanding of the man he is now.
