Sackett's Land - A Novel (Paperback, Reissue)

Louis L'Amour is a prolific pro, a charmer with a lot of heart, modesty and good will. In his present work, he abandons his familiar six-gun territory out in the cactus for Elizabethan England, the high seas and the Florida coast. And he carries off this installment of a 40-volume series about the American frontier with a light sure touch that will have his competitors mapping at their wives. In 1599, virtuous Barnabas Sackett, a young eel-fisherman who lives in an English fen and yearns for a better life, finds some antique gold coins and sells them to a collector. He also offends a vicious nobleman who chases him all over London, through Shakespeare's Globe theater, and finally has him shanghaied to the New World. But a shipload of Sackett's friends follow, on their way to trade with the Indians. Sackett jumps ship in Florida, barters with the tribes, rescues pretty Abigail Tempany, and at fadeout he and Abigail are bound again for the peninsula of our senior citizens - where they will produce volume upon volume of Sacketts to come. (Kirkus Reviews)

Son of a feared fighting man, Barnabas Sackett inherited his father's fiery temper, sense of justice and warrior skills. Declared an outlaw in his native England, Barnabas set his daring sights on the opportunities of the New World. The ruthless piracy of the open seas and the unknown dangers of the savage American wilderness lay before him. And so did the thrill of discovery and the chance to establish a bold new future if he survived.
