Synopsis

They were innocent men, slaughtered in the Rockies. A party of land surveyors who met their grisly fate at the hands of the Crow Indians—or so it seems. Some folks think the story is a lie. And now it's up to US Army Lieutenant Ron Stanton to figure out what really happened up there in those desolate, blood-soaked mountains. As his guides, Preacher and Jamie McCallister agree to retrace the footsteps of the doomed party—come hell or high water—but first they'll have to pass through a particularly nasty piece of purgatory known as Fort Buzzard . . .

Fort Buzzard—officially Gullickson's Fort—earned its nefarious nickname because of the human vultures it attracts. Namely the brutes and brawlers hired by Gullickson to protect his interests. When a nearby trading post is suddenly attacked—and two young women carried off by Indians—Preacher and McCallister smell a rat. The Crows swear they're not responsible for the attack, the abduction, or the mountain party massacre. Preacher and McCallister believe them—but proving it won't be easy. This road to justice only leads to more dead ends—and the biggest, bloodiest showdown in Rocky Mountain history . . .

Goodreads review by Bill on September 10, 2024

A fairly average outing for Preacher and MacCallister as the two agree to help the army investigate the slaughter of a group of railroad surveyors. What follows is a pretty typical Johnstone tale as the two play detective. It’s a straightforward story and predictable, luckily the characters make it......more

Jamie MacAllister and Preacher are two of my favorite characters created and written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. Fort Buzzard is the newest adventure with these two.

Goodreads review by Denice on June 24, 2024

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point......more

Typical Preacher book. He is the superman of mountain men. He never misses a shot and is always right on his hunches. I enjoy the Preacher series and always look forward to the next one. Johnstone is the best western writer in the business as far as I am concerned. This book is full of action and in......more
