Fearless: A Mountain Man Adventure is an epic tale of survival, friendship, and unyielding determination set against the rugged backdrop of the untamed American frontier.

The year is 1828. Irish immigrant Habakkuk Hickey arrives in St. Louis with nothing but his resolve and a dream of making a life in the vast wilderness. Starving and nearly out of hope, the 18-year-old's fortunes take a turn when he is taken under the wing of seasoned trapper and trader Jacob Berger. Signing on as a blacksmith for the American Fur Company's Upper Missouri Outfit, Habakkuk embarks on a journey up the Missouri River to help build Fort Union and open trade with the region’s tribes.

In the process, Habakkuk forms an unbreakable bond with fellow greenhorns Newton Martin and Claude Gramm. Together, they face grueling trials, forging a brotherhood strengthened by their shared struggles. But their true test comes in 1830, when they join Jacob and a small group of men on a perilous mission into Blackfeet Country to establish trade with the formidable Blackfoot Confederacy—known as the most feared and warlike tribe of the Northern Plains.

The journey into Blackfeet territory is fraught with danger: treacherous terrain, harsh weather, and the ever-present threat of violent confrontation. Yet for Habakkuk and his friends, the risk is outweighed by the allure of adventure, glory, and the chance to carve their names into the annals of history.

In
Fearless: A Mountain Man Adventure, Book 1 of the series, LeRoy A. Peters delivers a gripping story of courage, camaraderie, and the unrelenting spirit of those who dared to tame the wilderness. Will Habakkuk and his companions survive the perils of Blackfeet Country—or will their dream of adventure become their ultimate undoing?

Step into the heart of the frontier and discover an unforgettable tale of grit and glory. Start your adventure today!
