In Sackett, Louis L'Amour introduces readers to a wandering man with a desire to settle down and build a good life.
Hard circumstances had made William Tell Sackett a drifter, but now he hungered for a place he couldn't name yet knew he had to find. South of the Tetons he came upon a ghost of a trail that led him through a keyhole pass into a lonely, alien, yet beautiful valley--a valley that held a fortune in gold.
Then he found an even greater treasure: beautiful Ange Kerry, a courageous and resourceful woman. Yet the harsh ways it takes to preserve his claim and his life could be the one thing that drives Ange away forever.
