Creed of the mountain man

Live By The West. . .Die By The West. . . Smoke Jensen has tried to make peace with the land-and the past.

But trying to outrun a reputation as a fearless gunslinger in the wilds of Colorado can be life's toughest game.

Especially when you're playing against fate. This time it's calling Smoke to the restless Wyoming range, to fight the bloodiest private war in American history.

In Johnson County, vigilantes have become the law. Cattle rustlers have turned the great Powder River red with the blood of the innocent. And nothing's going to stop the renegades from going barrel to barrel to pilfer the best grazing land in the Territory.

But they've finally met their match in the likes of the kill-or-be-killed legend Smoke Jensen.

As the body count rises as high as the Rockies, the trail-hardened pioneer is set to strap on his brand of .44 caliber justice-and teach these outlaws the real meaning of the word hell.
