The Saga of the Brothers Mountain

This is an action packed book, as the Mountain family realizes that there are dangerous men waiting around every bend in the road.

The “Saga of the Brothers Mountain,” is a fictional tale that follows the adventures of three young Irish brothers and their cousin - through persecution in their homeland and through lawlessness in America. The story begins in southern Ireland in 1819 in the small farming village of Killeagh. The Mountain families were living on land owned by the merciless Lord Charles Webb, who is attempting to vacate all the Irish families from his property.

William Mountain, the youngest of the four boys, realized at a young age the need to protect himself and his family from the ruthlessness of the English landlords. After William's grandfather gave him a knife for his fourteenth birthday, to be used as a tool, William realized he had in his hands something he always wanted: a weapon. After years of practice, he could throw his knife with pinpoint and deadly accuracy with either hand.

When William and his cousin Mark were attacked by Lord Webb's hired killers, William flew into action and killed the thugs with only a knife. Webb retaliated and had most of the Irish farmers tortured and then killed.

After the slaughter of his family and neighbors, William, seeking revenge, went alone to Webb's compound armed with only two knives and killed many of his henchmen and burned most of the compound to the ground; however, he also helped four young women escape, including the beautiful Molly McCarthy.

Soon thereafter, William and Molly met brothers Patrick and SC and cousin Mark at the harbor in the Cove of Cork, and left on a ship to America in an effort to build lives for themselves. Upon arriving in the new country, William must continue to protect his family from the lawlessness of Five Points in New York City. This adventure continues onward to Wisconsin Territory, where they are followed there by mercenaries sent by Lord Webb. Action evolves with virtually every page as the “Saga of the Brothers Mountain” continues!
