Ride the River (The Sackett series Book 5) by Louis L'Amour western, in the 1840s-50s. I had trouble putting it down. Again, the history fascinates me. I also enjoy the little touch of romance.
The Daybreakers (The Sackett series Book 6) by Louis L'Amour western, 1870-72. I'm drawn in and feel like I'm living there. L'Amour has a gift for words. This story also gained extra meaning now that I know a little of my Welsh history.
Sackett (The Sackett series Book 7) by Louis L'Amour western. 1874-75. Again, I love that L'Amour weaves in so many facts.
Lando (The Sackett series Book 8)by Louis L'Amour western 1873-1879. Brutal and fascinating and not quite what I expected.
Mojave Crossing (The Sackett series Book 9)by Louis L'Amour western 1875-1879. More history! What a journey. Whew. Interesting to see Los Angeles in the early years and love that the modern day locations are given for reference in the footnotes.
Mustang Man (The Sackett series Book 10)by Louis L'Amour western, in the 1875-79. Action packed.
The Lonely Men (The Sackett series Book 11)by Louis L'Amour western, 1875-79. Brutal page turner. Funnily enough, one of the television stations played "The Sackett," a mishmash of a couple books, enough to recognize the books but lots of changes. I'm ever fascinated by the bits of facts and history woven into the fiction.
Galloway (The Sackett series Book 12)by Louis L'Amour western. 1875-79. While it's true each book stands alone, together it's quite the saga.
Treasure Mountain (The Sackett series Book 13) by Louis L'Amour western 1875-1879. Still more little bits and pieces of history woven into the story.
Lonely on the Mountain (The Sackett series Book 14) by Louis L'Amour western 1875-1879. I confess I was a little sad at the end.
Ride the Dark Trail (The Sackett series Book 15) by Louis L'Amour western, in the 1875-79. I do like Aunt Em. L'Amour has a gift for description.
The Sackett Brand (The Sackett series Book 16) by Louis L'Amour western, 1875-79. This should have been listed earlier in the series. This and the next actually belong after Mojave Crossing. I finally found the correct order in the Sacketts Volume 2. This story takes place in eastern Arizona, in the Mogollon Rim country. In my early teens, I did some camping and hiking in the area. Globe is still there as well as a few other places mentioned in the story. And the Lost Dutchman's Mine is referred to though not names.
The Sky-Liners (The Sackett series Book 17) by Louis L'Amour western. 1875-79. An amazing look into our wild west history.
