Winchester 1887

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

Narrated by: Lee Aaron Rosen

From America's most popular, best-selling Western writer, each novel in this brilliant new series follows the trail of a different gun - each gun with its own fiery story to tell.

On the American frontier, every gun tells a story. A boy in Texas waits for a Christmas present he chose from a Montgomery Ward catalog. The present - a brand-new lever action Winchester 1886 and a box of its big .50-caliber slugs - never makes it there. Instead the rifle is caught up in a train robbery and starts a long and violent journey of its own - from the hands of a notorious, kill-crazy outlaw to an Apache renegade to a hardscrabble rancher and beyond.

But while the prized Winchester is wandering the West - aimed, fired, battered and bartered - Deputy US Marshal Jimmy Mann is hunting for the outlaw who robbed the train in Texas. The only clue he has is this prized and highly coveted weapon. What stands in his way are storms, Indians, thieves, a lot of bloody deaths - and a merciless desperado just waiting to kill the lawman on his trail....

great story

The action continues from Winchester 1886 with better narration and a great story of a boy becoming a man.

A book for lovers of old western guns, and history!

Loved this series! It brought a life what the West was really like in the territories of Oklahoma and northern Texas. It did away with Sanitizing with the sites in especially the smells of the 19th century and its people. Definitely for gun lover’s. I hope there’s more stories about James and Jackson to come.
