Sackett

My name is Troy Stap and I read the book Sackett by Louis Lamoure. The main setting of this book is about Tell Sackett and the gold he finds accidentally on an abandoned canyon trail that he stumbled across. And the other part of the setting was about the outlaws who chasten gold. The main characters in this book are William Sackett and Tell Sackett. This book takes place in the summer and winter of a year in the 1800's. In this story the main conflict is Tell finds a pure vein of gold, and as he sets up a town gold thirsty outlaws move in and shoot up William Sackett wile Tell is mining gold at his claim. He comes back from the mountains and gets the news and then makes one final run back too his claim, butt the outlaws followed him this time. He gets snowed in but he manages to get out before the outlaws kill him and the outlaws freeze to death in the mountains. My favorite part of the book was when Tell finally met Bigilow (the leader and brother of the outlaws) and had a drink with him and just as he walked away with no conflict, but then Bigilow drew and Tell drew his .44 and shot him dead. As for me I thought this book was pretty good overall, but if I were to change anything I would have given Tell more respect to his name and given him a higher reputation as an experienced gun fighter. The kind of readers that would enjoy this book would be those who like adventure, courageous and suspenseful books.

Not THE Sackett, just SACKETT!

The title of this book is simply SACKETT, and it is the best of the series, even better than The Daybreakers and To the Far Blue Mountauns. Tell is my favorite of the Sackett brothers. He is the easiest to identify with, and I enjoyed reading this book, which introduces you to one of L'Amour's best characters. Sackett is a good book for anyone just starting to read L'Amour and is a good lead-in to the rest of the Sackett Series.

Sacket

I liked The Sackets because westerns are one of my favorite kinds of books. The main idea of this story is that this familly is reunited after many years of being without each other. I have no dislikes for this book.

This book is good

The novel SACKETT is about a young man named Tell Sackett. He fled to Texas where he discovers a vein of gold. After the locals find out some of them begin to get greedy. They try to do a number of things to Tell but nothing can discourage him. In the end Tell gats the gold and gets the ranch he always wanted. This book was very good just because of the fact that he puts so much great detail into the novel everything seems so real. It was an excellent book.
