Remington 1894

By: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrated by: Al Kessel

Best-selling authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone celebrate a legend of the American West - and the weapon that shaped a nation's destiny....

As a teenager, John McMasters won the Medal of Honor as a sniper for the Union Army during the Civil War. Thirty years later, McMasters lives a peaceful life in the Arizona Territory, raising a family and running cattle. These days, he needs eyeglasses to hit a distant target. But that doesn't stop his wife and four children from buying him a special present for his 50th birthday: a beautiful new Remington shotgun. Turns out, he's going to need it....

The Butcher gang has come to town. By the time McMasters learns of their arrival, they've invaded his ranch and slaughtered his family, hightailing it out of the county. McMasters wants revenge, using his new shotgun to hunt down those butchers like the animals they are. But he can't do it alone. His friend, Deputy US Marshal Daniel Kirkpatrick, is hauling six of the deadliest criminals in the country to a prison in Yuma. They're cutthroat killers, every bit as ruthless as the Butchers. But when McMasters points his Remington at their heads, they will become his killers....

Great Book

Wonderful narrator. Terrific story with a cast of characters and a couple of nice plots. Two thumbs up.

The book focused on the. Crooks.

Most book focus on “normal people” going about their lives, this gave us a view inside the mind of the wrong doer. Good book!

not his best book.

Not his best book. The story has great premise, but is slow to develop and meanders around allowing you to lose focus. Ending is awkward. He should have cut out the middle and focused on the ending.

Narrator was good with all characters but the main one.

This was a decent listen . The exception was the narrator’s portrayal of the main character. Dry as sawdust.

seemed a to rush to finish the book

was a good story. till the last 3 or 4 chapters then it was like it ended kinda fast.
