Product Description
From Library Journal
Tell Sackett is a drifter longing to settle down, but after shooting one of the infamous Bigelow brothers, he figures it's time to mosey on down the trail once more. As he wanders into the Sangre de Cristos, he goes through a keyhole pass that leads him into a cave that has not been entered in many years. In this lonely spot, with winter rapidly approaching, Tell Sackett discovers gold...and something else he does not expect. Unfortunately, the Bigelow brothers are not far behind him, so in the tradition of L'Amour, a humdinger of a showdown ensues. How Tell meets his destiny makes for a rousing tale, and David Strathairn's narration is perfect. He sounds so gravelly and Western that this reviewer is reminded of a line from Blazing Saddles that hails a speech at a town meeting as "authentic Western gibberish"! Sackett is like that, filled with "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" philosophy so intrinsic to Western adventure novels. L'Amour was a visual writer, and the bygone world of the Western frontier is painted so exquisitely that even listeners who normally turn up their noses at the genre will enjoy this one. Highly recommended. Barbara Perkins, Irving P.L., TX

In this short installment in the popular Western author's Sackett family saga, William Tell Sackett speaks of how he found gold, love, and danger in Texas. Rough-and-ready, unlettered, and possessing plenty of horse sense, the oldest of the Sackett boys is on a quest for a moral pathway for himself while he does what a man has to do to protect his claim, his sweetheart, and his life from a clan of vengeful claim jumpers. David Strathairn, a convincing frontiersman, plays Tell as the strong, silent type--à la Gary Cooper--so laid-back as to skirt the edges of flatness.
