Upriver To Hell Town
(2025)(The first book in the Hiram Ash Mountain Man series)
A novel by G Wayne Tilman
Buckle up for the thrilling launch of a brand new Mountain Man series, bursting with the wild, untamed spirit of the frontier! Meet Hiram Ash, a rugged, fearless frontiersman with grit in his veins and adventure in his soul.
In the 1830s, like many bold young men in Virginia’s Valley, Hiram hand-crafted a gundalow—a sturdy flatboat—and navigated it upriver to the rough-and-tumble Hell Town for a tidy profit. Selling the boat for its timber, he chased a daring dream: to become a fur trapper in the majestic blue mountains, a true mountain man.
Years later, Hiram’s living that dream, carving out a name as a loyal friend and a deadly foe. When he stumbles across a wagon west of South Pass, he doesn’t hesitate—digging an arrow from a wounded man and charging headlong after the war party that snatched the man’s daughter. Leaving a trail of foes in his wake, Hiram rescues the spirited Molly, and in that heart-pounding moment, their eyes lock, sparking a life-altering connection.
No longer just a lone trapper, Hiram’s talents shine as a scout and wilderness guide, blazing trails through treacherous terrain and leading others where few dare to tread. Get ready for a pulse-pounding saga of danger, romance, and the call of the wild!
