| Why it’s on the list | Barnabas Sackett, an Elizabethan fenlander who finds Roman gold in a drained field and makes a powerful enemy, takes ship for the Carolina coast — the opening of L’Amour’s multi-generational Sackett saga, accessible frontier fiction with an explicit thesis: the people who settled the country were ordinary, landless and looking for room. |
