Sackett is by Louis L'Amour. This classic western historical fiction is the story of Tell Sackett, the oldest of the three Sackett boys, and his discovery of an old Spanish gold mine; but that's not all he discovers. A classic tale of the old west that tracks fairly well with the move The Sacketts which stars Sam Elliott as Tell, Tom Selleck as Orrin, and Jeff Osterhage as Tyrell. The movie version combines the story contained in this book and The Daybreakers. If you like the book you'll love the movie (which is over three hours long by the way). Nobody does the American western like L'Amour and this book is a classic of the genre. A must read for anyone who loves the old west when men were men!
Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
