The Sackett Brand - A Short Review

In this book, Tell Sackett is wronged in a terrible way. His new wife, Ange, is murdered, and the murderer tries to do away with Tell to keep the story from spreading. The murderer is a cattleman with some 3000 head of cattle – a very wealthy man, and he turns all forty of his hands out to track down and kill Tell. Of course, even after fearful wounds and deprivation, Tell survives and gets justice. He is a Sackett, after all. In fact, before it’s all over, all of the Sacketts I’ve read about to this point, and some I haven’t, show up to help save the day. The critical help he receives is linked to the name of this book – Parmalee Sackett bought out half of the stake in the cattle operation and fired the gunmen hired to kill Tell.

I loved the way the Sacketts all came together to help Tell out in this book. This is how friends and family ought to be when one is in need.
