Jake Ransom, Man of the Mountains consists of a single novel, To the River’s End, published in 2021. The book takes place during the fur trade era, when trappers like Jake Ransom spent months alone in the Rocky Mountains, living off the land and collecting pelts. Ransom is good at his job and comfortable in the wilderness, but the journey to sell his furs is never a safe one.

The novel follows Ransom on a long trek through mountain country, where he faces blizzards, grizzly bears, and hostile men who would rather steal his haul than do the trapping themselves. It is a classic mountain-man story in the tradition of Jeremiah Johnson, with a focus on self-reliance and survival. For readers who prefer their Westerns set in the high country rather than on the open plains, this standalone delivers exactly that.
