I loved Louis L'amour books as a teen and decided to share one of his novels with my boys as a read aloud. My sixteen-year-old enjoyed it (he loves adventure books) while my thirteen-year-old did not like it as much (he doesn't like books with seemingly perfect characters).
This novel is book one for the Sackett series. Barnabas Sackett incites the anger of a powerful, determined man, Rupert Genester. As Barnabas escapes Genester's traps, he finds himself in the New World, fighting off different danger and enemies. Barnabas knows this land is for him and sets out to pave the way to live in this new world. A lot of action, fighting, and adventures!
The story takes place in the 1600s, which supported the historical period we recently studied.
*Highly recommend.
Warning: a few swear words, violence (fighting with swords)
-Borrowed from the library.
