Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1828, both the spring and fall trapping seasons have come and gone. Little Jacob Ogden was born in June and the Ogdens have chosen to settle down in Grand Junction, Colorado. It has been a year of many changes, so far all good. In this eighth volume of the Sam Ogden Mountain Man Series, young Sam and his Mandan wife, Little Fire have a baby boy, Little Jacob Ogden. Sam and his Partner Clyde Patterson have decided to give up the life of a free trapper and settle down in southwestern Colorado, in a new settlement called Grand Junction. Sam and Little Fire have made some new friends at the settlement of Grand Junction, the Olivers. John and Kate Oliver own and run the General Store, formerly the Trading Post of Grand Junction. Their five years of living on the frontier have been satisfying and their store is thriving. Their one regret is that they have no children of their own. It seemed the most natural thing in the world for the Olivers to adopt Sam and Little Fire and their baby. For the first time in his young adult life, Sam Ogden, Mountain Man and Free Trapper, has a family to come home to in the white settlements! In this eighth volume of the Sam Ogden Mountain Man Series, "Wilderness Wagoneer," Sam, his wife and his partner, Clyde Patterson, have become engaged in the struggles of the Rocky Mountain Frontier, turning wilderness into the new American Land. The Sam Ogden Series is as follows: 1.Hard to Kill 2.Winter Down 3.Rendezvous Prize 4.The Deerslayer's Destiny 5.Sam, My Warrior 6.Rocky Mountain Cabin 7.Free Trappers 8.Wilderness Wagoneer
