Mojave Crossing

New York, NY: Bantam Books, 1977. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 13th printing. Tell Sackett was packing thirty pounds of gold and no worries-until he got to the ferry at the Colorado. Trouble found him there. It looked like a black-eyed woman, pretty as a young filly and a hundred times more set to buck any man. It looked like a gang of hardcases with ideas about other folks' gold. And trouble looked like the other side of the river-the hottest, driest, most brutal desert on the continent. The sacketts are the unforgettable pioneer family created by master storyteller Louis L'Amour to bring to vivd life the spirit and adventure of the American frontier. They are the men and women who challenged the untamed wilderness with their dreams and their courage. From generation to generation they pushed ever westward with a restless, wandering urge, a kinship with the free, wild places and a fierce independence. The Sacketts always stood tall and, true to their strong family pride, they would unite to take on any and all challanges, no matter how overwhelming the odds. Each Sackett novel is a complete, exciting historical adventure and, as a group, they form an epic story of the building of our mighty nation.
