Carry the Wind

De: Terry C. Johnston

Narrado por: Alex Boyles

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 turned. 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 women where only the best and bravest 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.

Historical fiction at its finest!

We are presented with an introduction to Josiah Paddock. From his childhood, leaving home, his various jobs including his exposure to the mountains and beaver trapping, to the fateful duel with the Frenchman. Josiah’s account continues with his, and his friend Mordicah, adventure to the western mountains. Soon, Josiah would come across Titus Bass and join up with him, his education and training to begin. Josiah was a true greenhorn, in the beginning, a young man with more pride than experience. Scratch had his work cut out for him when he took this young man under his wing. They came to be fast and true friends. The adventures and hardships were a great tale of the mountains in the 1830s. I enjoyed the story and the characters. I wish Audible had the rest of the series.

Great story and will keep your attention

Awesome story line. I’m at book 6 and they keep you coming back for more. Do have one issue with author’s writing. The drowning on and repetitive descriptions of certain parts gets aggravating. When a paragraph would do to describe a particular situation, 5 pages later still haven’t gotten to the point

Carry the Wind

This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be getting the next in the series. The narrator did an excellent job definitely worth the credit!

Titus Bass on audiobook

I’ve read the whole series and always wanted to get it in audible. It is a long book but worth the journey

Great book and narrator.

Another great book by Terry C.Johnston. The narration by Alex Boyles is excellent! Well worth listening to. It takes a good bit to make me really get into and like a story, especially a long one but his one did it. I wanted it to keep going after the last chapter.

Excellent Read

Historically accurate for a fictional story. Exciting and thought provoking regarding the “feel” of the early west, Indians and the changes taking place.
Highly recommended.
