Terry C. Johnston's West 

Historical Tours

Johnston combines his unique skills as both an acknowledged historian and a consummate storyteller, blending historical fact with powerful human emotion to vividly re-create the past for those who join him on his historical tours each summer. Terry stands alone among today’s writers in drawing his readers right into all the drama and the passion, the glory and the tragedy as America moved toward the setting sun. No other author has so compellingly captured the entire cavalcade of the old frontier in his novels. Now you have the opportunity to travel with him to where history actually happened.

Drawing upon his emotionally powerful and unique blend of historically accurate fiction that only Johnston can weave, Terry is very proud to offer this opportunity to join him for a one-week tour during which you will re-live the grit and blood, the tears and tragedy of the great Indian Wars.

At each historic site we visit you will walk with Terry as he tells his stories of those who clashed upon that sacred ground. And in those quiet moments with him you will listen to the ghosts who still haunt the buffalo grass.

Unlike anything you have ever encountered, you are certain to have a week long remembered as you move beyond history as "event," to finally sense in a most personal way the very breath and blood of the human story as experienced through the incomparable gifts of a master storyteller!
