Relation During Books Carry the Wind (Titus Bass #4)
Young Josiah Paddock, on the run from his past in St. Louis, didn't have much hope of survival. Winter was coming to the Rockies, and if the cold cutting through his city clothes didn't kill him, grizzlies or Indians would. Then his luck tumed. He stumbled across the trail of Ol' Scratch, a solitary mountain man eager enough for company to take the brash youngster under his wing. Pure chance brought Paddock to the old trapper's camp, but it was skill with a gun and a knife that kept them both alive as they rode deep into the majestic land of Blackfeet and Crow, bible-spouting pioneers and sensual woman where only the best and braves survived . . . and only the luckiest rode back again. Carry The Wind is a gripping historical saga set in the Grand Tetons during a time when the horizon never ended and a nation was being born.Present Regarding Books Carry the Wind (Titus Bass #4)

I have a real fondness for frontier literature and movies. James Fenimore Cooper, or Robert Redford's "Jeremiah Johnson", for instance. With that in mind, I can't believe it took me so long to discover Terry C. Johnston's Titus Bass books. This is a grand epic that begins with Josiah Paddock in St. Louis setting off to become a beaver trapper in the Rockies. He soon meets up with Bass, who is always called an old man though he's only in his 30s. Bass takes Paddock under his wing and teaches himI enjoyed it, the colorful dialog filled with unique colloquialisms and just plain entertaining.

This is a long story of the lives Titus Bass and Josiah Paddock, who were erly 19th century beaver trappers. From thier chance meeting to the conclusion of thier journey thru the northwest mountians, the author fills in all the backround details of thier past lives and experiences. It is a very descriptive story of the brutality of life in the mountians that these men endured during the early 1800's. This is not a story for the squeamish. The author vividly describes brutal attacks by grizzily
A great story, start this and you will be compelled to read the other great Terry C. Johnston reads.
Titus Bass is an amazing character. I have read this entire series twice and each time it gets better and better.
