Publisher's summary

In Jubal Sackett, the second generation of Louis L’Amour’s great American family pursues a destiny in the wilderness of a sprawling new land.

Jubal Sackett’s urge to explore drove him westward, and when a Natchez priest asks him to undertake a nearly impossible quest, Sackett ventures into the endless grassy plains the Indians call the Far Seeing Lands. He seeks a Natchez exploration party and its leader, Itchakomi. It is she who will rule her people when their aging chief dies, but first she must vanquish her rival, the arrogant warrior Kapata. Sackett’s quest will bring him danger from an implacable enemy...and show him a life - and a woman - worth dying for.

Louis L'Amour is the greatest storyteller of all!

I read all of Louis L'Amour's books as a kid, which was a few decades ago, so I already knew he was a great storyteller. Thankfully, I forgot most of the story lines, so it was like "reading" them all over again and it was quite a treat. As for the narrator, I could not imagine another narrator doing a better job. He brought the story to life and complimented Mr. L'Amour's great work..

L'Amour storytelling at his best

Historical backdrop along with imaginative and creative subject matter keep the reader engaged and feeling as if they are actually experiencing early American history. L'Amour philosophy provides readers the best viewpoint in understanding history and events which shaped our country.
