Product Details


Product Description

Book Description

One of the superior sagas of our time, the chronicle of the Sackett family is a great achievement of one of our finest storytellers. In Mojave Crossing, Louis L'Amour takes William Tell Sackett on a treacherous passage from the Arizona goldfields to the booming town of Los Angeles.

Tell Sackett was no ladies' man, but he could spot trouble easily enough. And Dorinda Robiseau was the kind of trouble he wanted to avoid at any time, even more so when he had thirty pounds of gold in his saddlebags and a long way to travel.

But when she begged him for safe passage to Los Angeles, Sackett reluctantly agreed. Now he's on a perilous journey through the most brutal desert on the continent, traveling with a companion he doesn't trust ... and headed for a confrontation with a deadly gunman who also bears the name of Sackett.


From the Paperback edition.


From the Publisher

Tell Sackett was packing thirty pounds of gold and no worries--until he got to the ferry at the Colorado. Trouble found him there. It looked like a black-eyed woman, pretty as a young filly and a hundred times more set to buck any man. It looked like a gang of hardcases with ideas about other folks' gold. And trouble looked like the other side of the river--the hottest, driest, most brutal desert on the continent. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sackett gets himself in a heap of trouble helping a girl, Nov 8 2003
By Richard J. Brzostek (New England, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
"Mojave Crossing" by Louis L'Amour is part of the "Sacketts" series. It is told in the first person narrative and contains almost non-stop action. The reader is brought into the "Old West" in this historic fiction novel.

Tell Sacket was heading toward Los Angeles when he meets a black-eyed woman that seemed to be pursued by a gang of men. She is an excellent characterization of a woman that uses her looks to manipulate men in the business of temptation. Hesitantly, he agrees to take her with him, which gets him tangled in a heap of trouble.

The vivid description of what the West was like includes the way they talked, dressed, and the landscape itself. The reader also learns about deserts and practical tips on how to survive in them. You can read this in order as part of the Sackett series, or only this single volume. Either way, it is sure to be an enjoyable and entertaining reading adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sacketts(Mojave Crossing), Mar 17 2003
By A Customer
I think The Sackett books are good to read because its on the western 1800s time.
At first I was like why read this book but its actuly based on true places but fictional characters.
Tell Sackett saves some kids so he can get his newphew back from the indians.
I would say read it because it tells you suvorir skills.
