    He’s known from the Northwest to the deserts of the Southwest as Preacher, though he’s as far from being a man of the cloth as you can get. But when he was a young greenhorn, he was caught by a marauding tribe and set to be burned alive, until he just started preaching and never stopped. Figuring he was as crazy as a lizard, his captors turned him loose.

Guiding a hundred greenhorns through the wilds of the northwest. Knowing he can’t leave these settlers prey to all  the bloodthirsty cutthroats and and renegade Indians waiting in the wilderness. Preacher mounts the lead horse. He’ll get the pilgrims through safely—or  end up dead along the trail with the rest of them.
