Unabridged Reading by David Strathairn
Three cassettes or CDs- 4 hours
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.
William Tell Sackett had followed a different path from his younger
brothers, but his name, like theirs, was spoken with respect and
just a little fear. Where Orrin had brought law and order from
New Mexico to the plains of Montana, backed up by the gunfighting
talents of his brother Tye, Tell Sackett's destiny drew him to
Texas after he had to kill a man. There, in the high, lonesome
country, he came upon a vein of pure gold. All he'd wanted was
enough to buy a ranch, but he soon learned that gold had ways
of its own with men.
