The Daybreakers/Sackett (Sacketts)

Part of a Special Centennial Edition series - which has two novels in one volume, with a retail cost of $4.99 each - the book features Orrin, Tyrel and William Tell Sackett, which is part of a 17-novel series of the epic story of a quintessential American family.

The Daybreakers is a classic story on family, friends, betrayal and justice, as Orrin and Tyrel take different paths to bring peace and prosperity to a frontier town. William Tell's journey in Sackett develops much too quickly over the 151 pages, as he tries to construct a permanent settlement - and laws - to gold-rush territory.

These editions are an excellent and inexpensive way to become acquainted to the story-telling techniques of Louis L'Amour. The purchase of all five books is comparable to or cheaper than the cost of one new hardbound.

The Daybreakers is a great story about two brothers on the western frontier written by Louis L’Amour. The two brothers Orrin and Tyrel head west from their Appalachian Mountain home to find a better home out west for their aging mother. Along the way they find people they can trust and people they can’t. Tyrel and Orrin each find a woman they fancy but the one Orrin likes Tyrel doesn’t care for her. He even says “She reminds me of that hammer-headed, no-account roan we used to have” (Pg.12). That all gets straightened out though, and they keep looking for a home. Will they find a home for Ma? Will they be able to keep peace? Will they be able to make a name for themselves? Find out in the great western adventure by Louis L’Amour. I highly recommend this book for someone in 7th grade to an adult who likes adventure and westerns.
