Publisher’s Description Summary
Tell Sackett is in a tight spot under the Mogollon Rim, with forty gunmen from the Lazy A gang out to get him.
They plan to hang him if they catch him, or shoot him full of bullets if they can’t. But messing with a Sackett is like poking a hornet’s nest.
The Sackett family is rallying to Tell’s side, coming from far and wide. You’ve got mountain men, outlaws, ranchers, and even bankers in the mix, all ready to stand with Tell.
They’re all set to back him up in this showdown, that’s if Tell doesn’t take down those forty tough guys by himself first.
Quotes from The Sackett Brand by Louis L’Amour
- One thing I’d learned over the years: never to waste time moaning about what couldn’t be helped. If a body can do something, fine—he should do it. If he can’t, then there’s no use fussing about it until he can do something.
- A quiet man I was, and not one to provoke a quarrel, but if set upon I would fight back. I do not say this in boasting, for it was as much a part of me as the beating of my heart. It was bred in the blood-line of those from whom I come, and I could not be other than I am.
- But the thing I knew was that the best place to hide was in the mind of the searcher, for all men have blind spots in the mind.
- He carried himself with that impatient arrogance toward others that is often possessed by men who have succeeded by their own efforts, and too easily.
