THE SPIRIT OF COURAGE AND TRUE GRIT.
Preacher has agreed to escort Barnaby Cooper through Dakota Territoryâs hills to establish a trading post. Accompanied by his friends Lorenzo and Tall Dog, the mountain man hopes theyâll be able to protect Cooper from Sioux warriors who donât want any white man trespassing on their sacred grounds.
But the Sioux arenât the only hostiles staking their claim in the region. Englishman Albion Shaw knows thereâs gold in the hills.

But Shaw didnât reckon on crossing a man like Preacher. A man who not only knows what it takes to survive in the wilderness, but a man who will fight for freedom and justice to his very last breathâand his very last bullet âŚ
