William Tell Sackett had followed a different path from his younger brothers, but his name, like theirs, was spoken with respect and just a little fear. Where Orrin had brought law and order from New Mexico to the plains of Montana, backed up by the gunfighting talents of his brother Tye, Tell Sackett’s destiny drew him to Texas after he had to kill a man. There, in the high, lonesome country, he came upon a vein of pure gold. All he’d wanted was enough to buy a ranch, but he soon learned that gold had ways of its own with men.

      In this short installment in the popular Western author's Sackett family saga, William Tell Sackett speaks of how he found gold, love, and danger in Texas. Rough-and-ready, unlettered, and possessing plenty of horse sense, the oldest of the Sackett boys is on a quest for a moral pathway for himself while he does what a man has to do to protect his claim, his sweetheart, and his life from a clan of vengeful claim jumpers. David Strathairn, a convincing frontiersman, plays Tell as the strong, silent type--ˆ la Gary Cooper--so laid-back as to skirt the edges of flatness. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine
