Levi Johnson Mountain Man Scout

Levi Beaver Johnson was born to the woods of southeastern Indiana, where he earned the nickname “Trapper Boy” long before he came of age. With a sharp eye and a steady hand, he became known as the best shot in the state—and the traps he built were second to none.

But Levi wanted more than a reputation. He wanted the wild. So he left home and headed west, determined to become the mountain man he had always dreamed of being. His journey takes him to the frontier forts of Kansas, where he signs on as an army scout to earn his way into the Rockies and beyond. The road ahead is unknown, and danger waits at every turn.
