We learn the fate of Barnabus Sackett and get a brief introduction to his sons. I'm looking forward to the next installment and can only hope that Louis preaches less and tells more. (  ) kcs_hiker | Sep 21, 2009 |  Another great Sackett book. I really enjoy books that take characters you know from previous stories and give you more about them and more about their lives. (  ) jcdemo | Aug 27, 2008 | Second volume of the Sackett series. Finishes the story of Barnabas, the founder of the family. Most of the action involves sailing, pirates, and exploring untouched wilderness. Sets up Barnabas' sons nicely for further adventures. ( ) MerryMary | Aug 21, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553276883, Paperback)Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In To the Far Blue Mountains, Louis L'Amour weaves an unforgettable tale of a man who journeys to his homeland — but discovers that finding his way back to America may be impossible....Barnabas Sackett was leaving England forever to find his fortune in the New World. But as he settled his affairs, he learned that a warrant from Queen Elizabeth had been sworn against him — and that men were searching for him in every port. At issue were some rare gold coins Sackett had found and sold — coins believed to be part of a great treasure lost by King John years before. Believing that Sackett possesses the rest of the treasure, the Queen will stop at nothing to find him. And if he's caught, Sackett will face torture — and even the gallows....
