From the Inside Flap:

They are the unforgettable pioneer family created by master storyteller Louis L'Amour to bring to vivid life the spirit and adventure of the American frontier: the Sacketts, men and women who challenged the untamed wilderness with their dreams and their courage. From generation to generation they pushed ever westward with a restless, wandering urge, a kinship with the free, wild places and a fierce independence. The Sacketts always stood tall and, true to their strong family pride, they would unite to take on any and all challenges, no matter how overwhelming the odds. Each Sackett novel is a complete, exciting historical adventure, and as a group, Louis L'Amour's The Sacketts form an epic story of the building of our mighty nation, a saga that has thrilled millions. And now, for the very first time, The Sacketts are presented in an exclusive audio series that listeners will cherish for years to come.
