Storm Testament I

Sixteen-year-old Dan Storm escapes the Missouri mob violence against the Mormons—Gallatin, Haun's Mill, the fall of Far West—by fleeing west with an escaped slave named Ike. His journey up the Missouri River and into the Rocky Mountains becomes a saga of survival, buffalo hunts, horse raids, and a doomed love for a Ute maiden named Red Leaf. Framed as the recovered secret journals of a pioneer ancestor, this is book one of Lee Nelson's bestselling historical adventure series.

• Lives out the real events of 1838 Missouri—Gallatin, Haun's Mill, the extermination order, and the fall of Far West—through the eyes of a teenage Mormon runaway.
• The 'discovered secret journals' framing gives it the feel of true pioneer history come to life.
• An unforgettable friendship between a Mormon boy and an escaped slave who becomes an Indian chief.

““Mormons, take a good look at your Joe Smith. You'll never see him alive again.””
