Summary: One of Lamour's better books
Comment: I have yet to read many of his books, but I must say that all of Lamour's books are great. Jubal Sackett is a special character. I appreciate that Lamour spent more time on this book (or at least made it longer than usual) in order to give us a full scope of Jubal's transcending years in his migration to the west. The Sacketts are successful because they are well learned in many a trade and they don't take things for granted. They nurture their friendships when they can and comfront their enemies just as readily. You feel this story, you root for the characters and you feel as though you are among them. I guess this is more of a mountain man book than a western, but it still sets the setting for the Sackett's pushing west. A great book.

Summary: The Best
Comment: This is the greatest novel I have ever read(and reread and reread and ...). Louis is arguably the best Western novelist there is. Of his works the Sackett stories have always been my favorites. Of these I love the first books. I can get more into the early frontiersmen books than any others. Just like cowboys of today feel they "should've been born a hundred years ago". I can imagine the cowboys of a hundred years ago felt the same. To be the first white man to see a new land, a land empty of anything but its native inhabitants. Some of which are friendly some of which are definitly not. To explore these unknown places for the first time would be an enormous priviledge from God. That is what this book is all about. I can not count the number of times I have read it and I enjoy it just as much every time. This is quite possibly my favorite book of all time. Any one who has not read this book is missing a great adventure sure to keep you pulling this book off the shelf over and over.

Summary: A decent read, but a bit monochromatic
Comment: A typical L'Amour book - a dashing, trustworthy protagonist, just trying to live in peace but able to defend himself if and when necessary. Jubal Sackett is loved and trusted by all except the villains, who themselves have absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. In other words, the characters are very flat and monochromatic, and as a result, they come across as very artificial.
One thing you have to hand to L'Amour, though - he writes book easily read in an evening.
