The Jensen Dynasty: The Journey Begins

by William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Overview

Return to the epic sagas of the Jensen mountain men—Smoke and Luke—and their unique brand of bold, blazing justice together in one volume and in paperback for the first time—from the nationally bestselling Western authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone.

SMOKE JENSEN: THE BEGINNING

In 1861, shots were fired in Charleston Harbor, and Kirby Jensen’s father and brother went off to war. From raging Civil War battles to border state raids to the kind of frontier justice achieved only by bullets and blood, Kirby Jensen journeys into a manhood shaped by violence and a young man’s thirst for justice. Filled with actual historical events and legendary characters, the story of Smoke Jensen’s early years is a powerful, brutal, and amazing American saga.

LUKE JENSEN, BOUNTY HUNTER

In the last hours of the Civil War, Confederate soldier Luke Jensen is ambushed and robbed by four deserters, shot in the back, and left for dead. Taken in by a Georgia farmer and his beautiful daughter, Luke is nursed back to health. Though crippled, he hopes to reunite with his long-lost brother, Smoke. Then fate takes a tragic turn and Luke is forced to strike out on his own—hunting down the baddest of the bad . . . to become the greatest bounty hunter who ever lived.

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  
 
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
 
“Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,’ he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.’”
