The Free Trappers
(2026)(A book in the Willie McGee: Mountain Man Western series)
A novel by Peter Alan Turner
In 1908 Chicago, a brash young reporter named Clarence Culpepper expects just another human-interest piece when he visits a hundred-year-old resident at the Southside Rest Home. What he gets is a once-in-a-lifetime ride into the raw, untamed heart of the American West.
Willie McGee—born in Galway, Ireland in 1808—sailed to America as a boy, survived tragedy, and hurled himself into the frontier when it was still a wilderness of beaver streams, hostile tribes, and endless horizons. Through grit, Irish luck, and a quick-trigger wit, he trapped with legends, fought at the Alamo, rode with Kit Carson, saved Buffalo Bill’s scalp, and lived every tall tale dime novels only dreamed of.
Told in Willie’s own salty, larger-than-life voice (with Culpepper’s wide-eyed narration weaving through the chapters), these three epic adventures follow the mountain man from greenhorn to legend:
Blending heart-pounding action, wry humor, and the authentic smell of black powder and beaver plew, Peter Alan Turner delivers a sweeping, memoir-style saga that honors the unknown pioneers who truly built the West. If you love the grit of Louis L’Amour, the yarn-spinning of Zane Grey, and the living-history feel of Johnstone, saddle up for Willie McGee.
The Free Trappers Box Set – Three rip-roaring Western novels in one big, value-packed volume.
Because some men don’t just live the frontier… they become its greatest story.
Genre: Western
