About the Book

In honor of the 40th-anniversary celebration of the Sacketts, this title is being repackaged to reintroduce the classic tale of William Tell Sackett, a drifter drawn by destiny to Texas after he had to kill a man. There, he comes across a vein of pure gold. All he wants is to buy a ranch, but faces the harsh realities of preserving his claim.

Book Synopsis

In Sackett, Louis L'Amour introduces readers to a wandering man with a desire to settle down and build a good life.

Hard circumstances have made William Tell Sackett a drifter, but now he hungers for a place he can't name yet knows he has to find. South of the Tetons he comes upon a ghost of a trail that leads him through a keyhole pass into a lonely, alien, yet beautiful valley--a valley that holds a fortune in gold.

Then he finds an even greater treasure: beautiful Ange Kerry, a courageous and resourceful woman. Yet the harsh ways it takes to preserve his claim and his life could be the one thing that drives Ange away forever.
