What a man is and what he becomes is in part due to his heritage, and the men and women who came west did not emerge suddenly from limbo " The story of Barnabas Sackett is, in a true sense, a part of the real story of what happened on the American frontier.
The novel is rich with detail, historical background and story telling. The story is sure-handed and exciting, the canvas is broad and bright, and the reality and richness of the start of the American frontier rings out on every page. Sackett's Land is one of L'Amour's best.
