The stories of ten generations of Sackett men and women as  they  forged westward from tyranny-wracked  seventeenth-century England across the  American continent have  captivated readers for three decades through seventeen   novels with nearly forty millions copies in print.  The traditions and adventures  of this family of  rugged individualists who stand indomitably united  when any Sackett  is in trouble have inspired  country songs, a popular television miniseries starring   Tom Selleck (as Orrin Sackett) and Sam Elliot (as  Tell Sackett), thousands of reader  queries—and  now, a rare full-length work of non-fiction by the  worlds' all-time  best-selling frontier novelist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In a \u003ci\u003e60 Minutes\u003c\/i\u003e profile in which he hailed Louis  L'Amour as  \"our professor emeritus of how the West was won,\"  correspondent Morley  Safer observed that \"his  plots may be fiction but the details therein are fact.\"  \u003ci\u003eThe Sackett Companion \u003c\/i\u003eis the author's long-savored opportunity to present the research  and probe the factors behind his  Sackett fiction—novel by novel—and to elaborate  on  their real and fictional characters, their geography and locales, and their historical  eras in encyclopedia-like detail.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book, subtitled \u003ci\u003eA Personal Guide To The   Sackett Novels,\u003c\/i\u003e L'Amour takes us on a guided tour of his imagination to introduce  us to the never-before-told sources and inspirations for these  stories and the people  and places that populate them. He retraces some of his travels in which he has walked  the land the Sacketts walk, reliving such personal memories as the street fight he  had on  a hot dusty morning in New Mexico that ultimately  led to the birth of the  Sacketts.","brand":"Bantam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43352278466815,"sku":"9780553371024","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780553371024_s600x595.jpg?v=1775591048","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780553371024","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
