The Greatest Western Writer Of The 21st Century For the first time, an epic account of a boy born into a struggle for survival on the harsh and unforgiving American frontier, the story behind the legend of Smoke Jensen. . . On the eve of the Civil War, Kirby Jensen is the youngest of three children living on a hardscrabble ranch in Southwestern Missouri. But in 1861, shots were fired in Charleston harbor, and Kirby's father and brother went to war. Smoke Jensen The Beginning follows the Jensen clan during these volatile years, from Civil War battles to border state raids to the kind of frontier justice achieved only by bullets and blood. William W. Johnstone chronicles the early years of Kirby Jensen??soon to be nicknamed Smoke?? as he journeys from boyhood innocence 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??the crowning achievement of America's most popular living Western writer.

Kirby “Smoke” Jensen is one of the best-known characters in Johnstone country. There are to date 48 novels in the Smoke Jensen Last Mountain Man series. Each book can be read as a stand-alone and each is chock full of western action that entertains readers for hours! So far, I haven’t read all the books in this series though I am slowly working my way through them.
What is nice about this particular novel is that readers can get a better understanding of Kirby and how he came to be known by the handle of “Smoke”. The story places readers at the beginning of the Civil War and talks about the family life of Smoke. It was fascinating to read how he sought justice and the relationships he had with his parents, older brother Luke and a sister named Jane.
It portrays how serious Smoke took to taking care of the farm, his mother and sister when his brother and father left to join the fight. I enjoyed learning how Smoke met Preacher who taught him how to live off the land and how to survive the ruggedness of life on the frontier. As I read, it was interesting to read the beginnings of Sally Reynolds, who also is a main character in the Smoke Jensen series as well as other novels by Johnstone.
Whether you’re well-versed in the Smoke Jensen novels or you’re new to Johnstone tales, this book is one not to miss. There is so much to this character and all the various adventures he has, the other characters he meets, and places he travels that readers could be engaged in the West for days!
