content: This is another in the series of Louis L'Amour novels about the Sackett family. The Sackett story starts in England, moves to the high seas, and then winds up in the West where this novel is cast. All of these stories contain undercurrents of wonderful American values, strong family ties, rugged individualism, strength of character, heroism, and even humor. And, they are a snapshot into the history of the West and into America itself.I collect all of the novels by Louis L'Amour. They are excellent to read, and many I have re-read 2-3 times. I wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.
