About the book
In 1867, eighteen-year-old Tyrel Sackett leaves Tennessee after killing a man who threatened his brother Orrin. Orrin soon catches up with him, and together the two brothers head west toward New Mexico Territory, a region where fraud is stripping old Spanish holdings from their owners. Along the trail they meet hostility from several groups of people, yet they also gather friends. Tyrel is a gifted rider and shot, while Orrin loves speeches and song. In Mora, the pair set up a ranch, and their mother comes to share the new home. This is the first of L'Amour's Sackett family novels.
