NAMED BEST MOUNTAIN MAN SERIES BY TRUE WEST MAGAZINE , LANE R WARENSKI'S BEST SELLING GRIZZLY KILLER SERIES CONTINUES WITH THE CROSSING. The Oregon Trail stretched over two thousand miles-a brutal, unforgiving journey that took six grueling months. The first pioneers faced relentless hardships, burying their dead along the way. Without the mountain men who first blazed the trails, many would have perished. Zach Connors, better known as Grizzly Killer, and his partners agree to guide a group of missionaries to Oregon. These seasoned frontiersmen are eager to see new country, but even they are unprepared for Wild Horse, a renegade Piute warrior determined to make their journey a living hell. Each day brings relentless attacks, grueling labor, and the constant fear of ambush. But Wild Horse is not the only threat. The mighty Snake River looms ahead, a deadly obstacle that has already claimed one of their own. How many more will fall before they reach their destination?
