About this book

The Way West Back before the poison of civilization had corrupted the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, brave mountian men struggled to carve a life from virgin land. But few of these hardy souls had ventured beyond the mountains, to the Oregon Territory and the vast Pacific Ocean. The Men Who Dared Lewis and Clark, Kit Carson, and other living legends had blazed trails through the unknown regions, often leading settlers. When one party of pioneers disappeared, Nate King and his mentor Shakespeare McNair were hired to track them down. The perils along the way were unending, but if Shakespeare and Nate survived, they would earn the greatest reward imaginable: the courage to live free.
