Filled with action, adventure, mystery, and historical detail, the Sackett saga is an unforgttable achievement by one of America's greatest storytellers. In Jubal Sackett, the second generation of this great Anlerican family pursues a destiny in the wilderness of a sprawling new land.

Jubal Sackett's urge to explore drove him westward,and when a Nattchez priest asks him to undertake a nearly impossible quest, Sackett venturees 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. Sackett's quest will bring him danter from an implacable enemy...and show him a life--and a woman-worth dying for.
