This is a reread of my Louis L’Amour collection. The story is about the happenings of William Tell Sackett as he is searching for his place in the country and family. The story has the wonderful storytelling qualities of Louis L’Amour as he draws the reader through the life of Tell Sackett. The ups and downs of a grown man struggling with the need to have a family and resolve the issues that continue to pop up in his life similar but different to the problems we also encounter every day.
Tell is returning home bye way of a little used trail because he had shot a man who was trying to cheat him in cards. This let him discover a trail that crossed the one he was using through the wild country by an unusually marked trail. Being the curious adventurer that he is he takes the turn and the journey to his unknown destination begins.
I have always enjoyed the storytelling ability of Louis L’Amour as he winds his way through the mountains in search for the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The life of Tell Sackett goes through the day-to-day events with surprising clarity and real life events that would have happened to any western character.
