John Owens became known as Johnny Montana in the Redhawk
Mining District of southwestern Montana Territory. And he and his partners became successful
gold miners. Now Brett Cutter and his
gang of Cut-Throats are attacking the miners and stealing their gold. So Johnny Montana and the miners decide the
best way to avoid attack is to get the gold out of there. Johnny Montana is the hero and Johnny
Montana is Michal Zimmer’s western story.
It’s up to Johnny to get $48,000 in gold dust and pea sized nuggets from
the rough-hewn mining community of Ruby City to Salt Lake City. Others had tried it and no one had made
it. This will be a hard book for you to
put down.
Turn off the TV; settle down somewhere comfortable and
within a few pages, in an almost mysterious way, Zimmer will put you right in
the middle of the action. In Johnny
Montana, western novelist Zimmer will have you riding right along with
Johnny and trying to get the gold out of Montana. You’ll accept as true that you are in 1863
Montana Territory, giving Johnny a hand packing the gold in panniers, helping Allie Purcell get through that
snowy pass with the bad guys in close pursuit, and coming off that last summit before Salt Lake City.
Michael Zimmer, author of five Western novels, is an
American history buff who has done much research on the Old West. He has experienced many of the things his characters
experience, has been on horseback treks with authentic 1800s equipment and owns
and shoots a number of Old West Firearms.
While still in high school, Michael Zimmer started breaking and training
horses. He grew up on a small Colorado
horse ranch and now lives in Utah with his wife Vanessa. His latest Five Star Western is Wild Side
of the River.
