Sackett On the Outer Banks

Louis L'Amour is one of my favorite authors. He is primarily known as a writer of Western novels. But he also has a series of books built around a family that came to this country in the late 1500s. He chronicles the advancement of the frontier to the west by tracing the migration of the Sackett family over more than two hundred years. From the arrival of Barnabas Sackett on the Outer Banks and his establishing a settlement in Carolina to the election of Orrin Sackett to the Senate, the journey is a joy to read.
