Quest of the Mountain Man by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
* Just to note: Due to illness and a hafty workload, I’ve fallen behind my goal of 100 books in 2018. So, I’m reading through a series of Mountain Man books to catch up.*
I figure if I keep reading through the series a gem will appear. It’s not a Grade A gem, but far, far superior to the last 7 books or so.
The tale is a curious one. Why would a mountain man, who is always bemoaning the onslaught of the easterners and financially set for life, wander off to Canada to help a railroad scout it’s right-of-way for a rail line? A flimsy answer is given that is more of a devise to justify the reason for the book. Especially since there is very little scouting recorded in the book itself.
What sets this book apart from others in the series are a set of layers that makes the book more interesting and depth. No real surprises, but a good story nonetheless.
Bottom line: I recommend this book: 6 out of 10 points.
