Book Description
In Jubal Sackett, the second generation of Louis L’Amour’s great American family pursues a destiny in the wilderness of a sprawling new land. Jubal Sackett’s urge to explore drove him westward, and when a Natchez priest asks him to undertake a nearly impossible quest, Sackett ventures into the endless grassy plains the Indians call the Far Seeing Lands. He seeks a Natchez exploration party and its leader, Itchakomi. It is she who will rule her people when their aging chief dies, but first she must vanquish her rival, the arrogant warrior Kapata. Sackett’s quest will bring him danger from an implacable enemy . . . and show him a life—and a woman—worth dying for.

Book Description
On a hot July day in 1894, in a southern city still reeling from the death and destruction wrought by the Civil War, a four-year-old boy is found hanging in a woodshed, his eleven-year-old brother crouching behind a stack of firewood. Jubal Leatherbury is a little boy of unusual sweetness and beauty, his face a childs version of his handsome father Henrys face. Henry Leatherbury grew up fatherless in New Orleans during the period known as misrule, a bizarre combination of martial law and complete lawlessness, in the years following the Civil War. His own sensuality responded to the licentious atmosphere of the city, and he entered young adulthood as a reckless, undisciplined youth who denied himself little. Married unwisely, and singularly ill-equipped for fatherhood, Henry faces the challenges unique to parents of wounded children when he discovers that his young son has been the victim of ongoing and terrifying abuse. In the story of Jubal Leatherbury, love tests the measure of the power of cruelty in the forming of a man and in the shaping of human society. Set in the post-Civil War South, it takes a unique look at race relations post-slavery, as the races begin the process of viewing each other through different eyes. Characters that quickly become real and memorable experience joy and sorrow, love and hate, human tragedy and triumph, but when the book is closed, it is love that will be remembered.

Book Description
A black man’s entanglement with a white family leads to trouble in this historical novel set in Depression Era Mississippi. To everyone in the small town of Linville, Mississippi, Jubal Jefferson is known simply as Dummy. A large black man who almost never speaks, he is forever pulling his mother’s laundry wagon around town. Little else is known about him—apart from the fact that his father disappeared after the flood of 1927. For as long as anybody can remember, the Dunaway family have been hard-working, decent people. They are a perfect white family in a town sharply divided along racial lines. But appearances can be deceiving, and lines are meant to be crossed. When the family’s good fortune is nearly destroyed, the children find an unlikely friend in Jubal. After fire engulfs the Dunaway family home, Jubal risks his life to save the children. But his act of heroism comes into question when the mother is found dead. Now Jubal faces his greatest fear—coming under suspicion in a community that offers no second chances to people like him.

Book Description
Jubal Kane was twenty-two years old. For the past year, he'd been in the saddle every day, riding from town to town on a seemingly endless search for three cold-blooded killers. They were the men who'd shot his parents in cold blood while Jubal watched, hidden inside a pile of hay. Mitchell was one of these men. And with his death, Kane found some relief from the memories that had been haunting him. But two murderers lived on. Jubal knew that until he found them, he would have no peace. So he set out again, into the wide-open country, on a quest for revenge, and most of all, the truth. It was a voyage that would lead him into the face of danger--but also into the arms of Jenny, the beautiful innocent who believed in Jubal with all her heart.

Book Description
Jubal is the son of an important priest in the First Temple; the prophet is Jeremiah; and the time is Jerusalem under siege by the Babylonian Army. Jubal’s father leads the struggle against Babylon. Jeremiah pleads for submission to Babylon. Jubal, of course, would rather follow his father, but in spite of this natural desire, he is convinced by the message and personality of Jeremiah. His struggles lead him directly into adventure. With his friend Ezra he outwits the commander of the gates of Jerusalem, the jailer who would torture the prophet, and then this boy of courage and wisdom fights heroically in the final battle. All this, and more is the theme of the book, a story that is filled with constant action, colorful background and human as well as spiritual emotion. “Jeremiah was the most disquieting of all the prophets. To this day there are some who call him traitor. If, however, a prophet is—as I believe he is—God’s instrument, a man who speaks because a Power greater than he compels him to speak, there can be no question about Jeremiah’s integrity. Nevertheless, the human being is also present; and it is the tension between the prophet’s function as God’s mouthpiece, and his humanity as a patriot, that constitutes the theme of this book: he must condemn his people and his country even while he loves them.”—Frieda Clark Hyman
