“Sir?” Kirby asked.
“Smoke,” the old man repeated. “That’ll be your name from now on. That’s what I aim to call you. Smoke.” Preacher took another Navy Colt from one of the dead Indians, then tossed it to Kirby. “I seen the way you handled that pistol. Ain’t never seen no one your age that good with a handgun."

There is no shortage of action in this story. Well written, multiple colorful characters that are sometimes humorous. I really enjoyed the audio (by Rodney J Turner, AND the audio dramatization with multiple character voices in this book. They really made it come alive! The Mountain Man (and Mountain Men) are my favorites of Johnstone.
