He is in Texas when he discovers gold, when he wasn't really looking for it.l ( ) William Tell Sackett heads west after his service in the Union Army during Civil War to find away to raise funds to start a ranch. He accidentally stumbles on an abandon gold mine in a hidden valley which also is the trap for an attractive young woman named Ange. Once he brings out some of the gold, the usual bad types follow him back to steal his find. They force Ange to lead them into the hidden valley but they do not prepare for the early winter weather. Tell's struggle to bring Ange and a wounded man out of the valley during a severe winter storm while holding off a group of five gunmen is a suitable L'Amour ending to this quick, fast moving read. Sackett by Louis L’Amour is part of the series of books about the Sackett family. In this book the main character is William Tell Sackett. Like many of the Sacketts he is tall , lean and well muscled. Although he prefers a peaceful life, he seems to attract trouble. Luckily he is very good with guns, knives and his fists. He stumbles upon a rich gold mine high up in the mountains, and when he goes to stake his claim, the word gets out and he attracts a lot of unwanted attention. He also finds a young woman stranded in the wilderness, a woman that he rescues and wants to claim as his own. Dogged by greedy interlopers, Tell tries to disguise the location of the gold mine but the story becomes one of survival and adventure as he is followed by murderous claim jumpers who had also kidnapped his lady-love. Sackett was an old-fashioned western with the hero being a principled man who never gives up. He overcomes the weather and the bad guys and still manages to win the girl and pocket the gold. A fun read. In this book we meet William Tell Sackett, older brother to Ty and Orrin who we first met in The Daybreakers. Tell has been drifting since the War, and decides it's time to do something with his life. He stumbles upon gold, and a girl, and trouble, as usual. I love Tell and his laid back attitude. He prefers to use humor to confuse and confound those who are spoiling for a fight, and I found myself laughing at times as I reread Sackett. This story remains a favorite of mine. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
