Erin (Historical Fiction Reader) I'm not sure that this is the right place to post this but the book description for The First Mountain Man, Book 08: Preacher is incorrect.

I believe the current one was taken from Amazon which is also incorrect. According to the author's website (http://www.williamjohnstone.net/First...) and the back of my copy the description should read something like:

Preacher explains the origins of the legend of Preacher, a young man filled with wanderlust and raw courage, who would someday become a hero. In 1812, Preacher leaves Ohio on a journey westward, and must do whatever it takes to survive.

Also according to the author's site, the description that is currently under The First Mountain Man, Book 08: Preacher belongs to The First Mountain Man, Book 05: Cheyenne Challenge.

Could someone please fix this?

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Joy: I've changed the description on these editions.

Other librarians: It looks like this author is dearly in need of some combining work, and I have a busy afternoon. Anyone want to tackle it?


Erin (Historical Fiction Reader) Thank you!

My husband noticed as William Johnstone is his favorite author. You've just made his day. Lol. :)

Melody (runningtune) | 13300 comments And there will be more editions coming in. Found this listing: http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/...
And since he is a Goodreads author - and there seems to be a Wiliam Johnstone who wrote computer books mixed in - each one has to be done individually. Oh joy.

Kimberly (kimberlywithat) | 32 comments Ok, I think I've combined all of the ones that needed it. What a mess!
