The Daybreakers

The Daybreakers is by Louis L'Amour. The saga of the Sacketts continues. These are the adventures of brothers, Tyrell and Orrin, who head west to seek a new life. After killing a man in a family feud the brothers head out to find a future and a new home for their ma. They find work on a cattle drive and meet Tom Sunday and Cap Roundtree who teach them all they need to know about life in the West. Orrin and Ty fall in love with very different women which might put them at odds in Santa Fe when war between whites and Mexicans in the new territory threatens. Another great addition in the adventures of the Sackett family. L'Amour does westerns better than anyone else.

Ratings: 7th grade - 10 out of 10.
