Louis L'amour is a fantastic western writer; and his books are very clean, too. The Sackett novels are some of his best. I really enjoyed this one. Now I'm reading it again!

To top it all off a girl is right in the middle of it with nobody else to pull her through than Tell and Tell finds himself standing between her and a very dangerous band of outlaws.
