Books like Preacher's peace by William W. Johnstone
A young fur trader from St. Louis ventures into the untamed frontier with a crew and hopes for fortune, only to find blood, betrayal and the beginnings of a legend. With just a knife in hand, he confronts a Blackfoot war party and manages to kill a warrior chief in an act of audacious courage. When a grizzly bear attack leaves him half‑dead, he is left defenseless. Days later the Blackfoot discover him again, abandoned and double‑crossed, but he retains one final trick: the power to talk his way out of an impossible situation and into a battle for his life.
The story blends elements of mountain life, fur trade, and the rugged Western frontier, as the protagonist navigates conflict, survival, and the legend of the Preacher.

"The Santa Fe Trail stretches from the Mississippi River to New Mexico Territory through the West's most savage lands. That's why a wealthy trader hires the mountain man called Preacher to keep his trade goods safe--and hopefully deliver a flock of pilgrims to a Promised Land. A young prostitute. The spoiled son of a wagon train owner--these are a few of the souls Preacher must protect. But then a rifle goes off at the wrong moment. A towering grizzly bear attacks. And both outlaws and Comanches ambush the wagon train... Now, the travelers are surrounded by predators of every shape and stripe. For Preacher, there is only one way to go--straight into the heart of danger, to blaze a killing trail of his own..."--P. [4] of cover.
