Louis L'Amour is one of my favorite writers, especially his Western novels. The Sackett saga is great reading, especially on long trips. This novel is the second in the series. Taken from Amazon's website: "Jubal Sacketts 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. Sacketts quest will bring him danger from an implacable enemy . . . and show him a lifeand a womanworth dying for." L'Amour's stories are always exciting, filled with adventure, historical facts and many times, romance. You'l be hooked with the first story and want to read this, the next one.
