I have to say that this one really surprised me. I've never been a L'Amour fan, to be honest (though my mom's dad had read, I think, every last one of his novels), but I think I could get into L'Amour easily if I tried.Normally, I wouldn't have enjoyed a book written like this: there was a high level of repetition, some plot resolutions that seemed just a bit too easy (and that were, by and large, foregone conclusions), and some bald foreshadowing that could easily have killed off any suspenseThis book definitely started off slower than the other Sackett books, but my goodness, what a great book. Jubal Sackett, the quiet son of Barnabas, is a loner, a dreamer, an explorer. Like his father, he has a love for the land. He is not content to stay in the wild frontier of the Carolinas or even the rugged Tennessee valley. Jubal, virtually half native by upbringing and inclination, wants to see the great mountains that divide this new continent. The tug of the distant frontier, the lure of
My mom read this book to us kids when we were small. We were poor. We did not have a TV. We could have had a TV but Mom and Dad believed it would not be good for us. She would pop huge bowls of popcorn and make lemonade and sweet tea and we would listen for hours. We would groan in dispair every time she would come to the end of a chapter with a cliff-hanger ending and say, "Okay, it's bedtime". We would beg for just one more chapter!!! Good times! I still love this story nearly 30 years later.
I stopped in at the VA Medical Center a couple days ago to update my prescriptions and looked over the collection of pocketbooks on the swap table in the waiting room while waiting to be processed, and I found a bunch of paperback books by Louis LAmour. They were old pocketbooks, which is only natural, because I have been reading Louis LAmours novels since I was a teenager. I grabbed one that I did not recognize as having read before, with a reason for taking it mostly being because of the
I can see why the men in my family enjoyed the writing of L'Amour. First one I've read. The history was interesting, with enough action, plot, romance, and moral characters that you cared about to keep reading. I found the spelling of the Indian names interesting, and the way the tribes made alliances, merged, learned about horses. Quick, fun read.
Since the L'Amour books featuring Barnabas Sackett (the original patriarch of the Sackett clan) are so incredibly lame, I'm surprised how much better he did at writing about Barnabas' sons. It probably has something to do with the Barnabas books being largely set in England--a country L'Amour wasn't nearly so good at portraying.There isn't much plot in JUBAL SACKETT. Mostly, it's about the titular character exploring the wilderness and trying not to die. Indians try to kill him, Spanish soldiers
.Jubal Sackett by Louis L'Amour (1908 to 1988)(Published 1985, the 17th book in the series, chronologically it's the 4th book in the family saga).Begins with Jubal Sackett's westward trek in search of a safe land to the West. His dad, Barnabas tasked him with finding such a place, free of the reach of England's King. Jubal also believes he's been "called" to head out West--his destiny and soon befriends a Kickapoo warrior and wanderer, Keokotah. The Indian is also the bearer of bad news,
