.Jubal Sackett by Louis L'Amour (1908 to 1988)(Published 1985, the 17th book in the series, chronologically it's the 4th book in the family saga).Begins with Jubal Sackett's westward trek in search of a safe land to the West. His dad, Barnabas tasked him with finding such a place, free of the reach of England's King. Jubal also believes he's been "called" to head out West--his destiny and soon befriends a Kickapoo warrior and wanderer, Keokotah. The Indian is also the bearer of bad news,While all of L'Amour's novels are good, not all are great. This isn't great. When L'Amour is actually telling the story, it's quite fine.

Jubal and Komi (Indian girl) have a philosophical discourse on the nature of Change that goes on for pages. Seriously, they do.Aside from that, a good read.

Then he meets some Indians who ask him to go on a mission to find some of their tribesmen who went off exploring and ask them to come home. What? Who asks that of
Great series!
One of my favorites by L'Amour, partly because it features Native Americans and partly because it's an adventure tale. I also enjoyed the romance and the way L'Amour describes surviving the winter.
This book definitely started off slower than the other Sackett books, but my goodness, what a great book. Jubal Sackett, the quiet son of Barnabas, is a loner, a dreamer, an explorer. Like his father, he has a love for the land. He is not content to stay in the wild frontier of the Carolinas or even the rugged Tennessee valley. Jubal, virtually half native by upbringing and inclination, wants to see the great mountains that divide this new continent. The tug of the distant frontier, the lure of
