William W. Johnstone is the #1 bestselling western writer in America, and the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of hundreds of books, with over fifty million copies sold. Born in southern Missouri, he was raised with strong moral and family values by his minister father, and tutored by his schoolteacher mother. He left school at fifteen to work in a carnival and then as a deputy sheriff before serving in the army. He went on to become known as "the greatest western writer of the twenty-first century."
Another great Johnstone book. The book traces the history of a specific Winchester 1886 Repeater rifle, bought for a teenager. The rifle is stolen before delivery to the teenager and passes through many hands before finally reaching that grown young man. Quite interesting.......more
Not my usual genre at all. I liked the idea of following the journey of a particular gun as it passed through the lives of lawmen, outlaws, sharpshooters, gamblers, and ordinary citizens. Wasn't as exciting as I had hoped, but a decent read nonetheless.......more
A "gunsmoke and grit in your teeth" story that is quite reminiscent of the Jimmy Stewart movie "Winchester '73" in that a rifle is at the center of the novel. In this case a Winchester 1886 .50-100-450 caliber. A promise, a robbery, a quest, a pretty lady, a despicable outlaw and the inevitable show......more
Another page turner from Johnstone!!! The only thing I have noticed in Westerns... When they have a shoot out and someone is killed... The dead persons gun is always left behind!!! 😂 Pick that gun up, use it, sell it, give it away... Don't leave it out on the ground and in the weather!!!......more
