The Frontier Overland Company

Hammersmiths of West Texas, Book 1

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

Narrated by: Cody Roberts

Founded in 1866, The Frontier Overland Company was no ordinary stagecoach operation. To begin with, its founding partners met in a Wyoming saloon brawl. After a raucous burst of punching, cursing, and chair smashing, the last two men standing become friends for life. Two kindred souls with the same fighting spirit, Tucker Cobb and former Texas Ranger Butch Keeling agreed to launch a business together: a brand-new stagecoach line through the wilds of Wyoming . . .

They called it the Frontier Overland Company. And a legend was born.

Cobb and Keeling knew it wouldn't be easy. The nation was still healing from the War Between the States. Red Cloud's War—an armed alliance of Lakota, Northern Cheyennes, and Northern Apaho against the United States—was heating up fast. And wealthy railroad magnates were itching to lay track for their western expansion to the Pacific. But it was one ruthless businessman—King Charles Hagen—who posed the biggest danger of all. He saw Cobb and Keeling's fledging company as a direct threat to his growing shipping empire. And, unfortunately for them, he decided to squash their little stagecoach business while they're escorting a young woman to see her dying father, an army colonel, at a Wyoming fort. With Red Cloud on the warpath, Wyoming Territory is about to become hell on earth.

Love that venture and the details

Absolutely love, the story, very suspenseful and the edge of your seat wondering what the next thing is going to be happening in the very exciting book loved it loved it loved it loved

THE FRONTIER OVERLAND COMPANY

This is another start to what seems to be another good series from the Johnstones. Tucker Cobb and Butch keeling starts a business together with a stagecoach. They run into all kinds of prolbems. There is some real good gunfights against outlaws. There's trouble with a crooked sheriff and his crooked deputies. They meet some good friends and make some or A very serious enemy. I think they under estimate other people. We'll see in the next book how much of an enemy they made out of King Charles Hagen. Cody Roberts did a great job narrating this book.
