"Galloway," by Louis L'Amour, is part of the Sacketts series and takes place circa 1875-1879. Read alone or as part of the series, the reader will have plenty of action, suspense, and adventure. Sacketts don't hunt for trouble, but when it comes they don't shy away from it.

Flagan Sackett manages to escape from being captured by the Indians, but without weapons and clothing, the task is a challenge for survival. Flagan and Galloway Sackett intend on starting a ranch, but the Dunns don't like the idea because they think they own all the land in the whole area and they don't like others coming in. The Dunns have pushed and scared others away in the past and they think they can do the same to the two Sackett brothers. They were wrong, as Sacketts from around the area all show up to help, as if fighting one is like fighting them all.

Although the book is called "Galloway," Flagon Sackett takes more of a leading role and narrates most of the story. The story switches back and forth, from being told by Flagon to a general narrator.

Plot description on this bookï¿s Amazon.com page. Fast paced, action filled and great story. I would have to say the story is as much about Flagan as it about Galloway. Mr. Lï¿Amour weaves the story, the place and the times together so well. He always seems to throw a little romance in along with the action and always treats his characters with respect, they always stay true to their personal honor. Try this one

one of the lessons that this book taught me was that if you work hard that you will always sucseed .i also learned that if one desires somehting like flagan sackett did [the piece of land], that one will usually get it.another lesson that the book teaches is that hard work pays off, and that never giving up pays off.
