To The Stony Mountains
(2026)(A book in the Tale of the Trader series)
An omnibus of novels by Cherokee Parks
Two epic frontier Western adventures in one powerful volume.
In THE TRADER: WEST TO THE STONY MOUNTAINS and OF NEW LIFE, WAR, AND PEACE, Cherokee Parks delivers the towering saga of Thomas Samuel ‘Tree’ Bell — a six-foot-ten giant of Scottish-Cherokee blood, mountain-man strength, and unbreakable will.
Leaving the hills of Kentucky in 1822, Tree rides west with the first fur-trapping expeditions, carving his legend across the raw, untamed Stony Mountains. From the Missouri River to hostile tribes, brutal winters, and the birth of the beaver trade, this massive, well-educated warrior-trader refuses to be forgotten. He hunts, traps, trades, fights, loves, and builds a life where few men dare to go — becoming a living legend among the nations of the high country.
This two-book set follows Tree from his first perilous trek into the unknown West through new life, war, and hard-won peace — an authentic, sweeping mountain-man epic packed with action, honor, and the raw heartbeat of the American frontier.
Perfect for readers who crave larger-than-life characters, sweeping Western landscapes, relentless adventure, and the true spirit of the early Rocky Mountain fur trade.
The Trader — where a Kentucky giant becomes a mountain legend.
