Ok, everyone might as well know... Louis L'Amour is my guilty pleasure. I've been reading them since I was eight years old and my Grandpa left me his collection. And I love them. They're completely formulaic. The good guy always wins, though he always has a good fist fight and a shoot out along the way. Oh, and he gets the girl, and the treasure. And I love it. He lived it man! Louis threw those punches, explored that land. Loved the land, the stories.
This is a Sackett novel, which involves my favorite characters. I love how he mentions other of his characters in his novels. This book was about two brothers, Flagan and Galloway. I would have called it Flagan, he's the main guy. Maybe Galloway has a better ring to it. Anyway, it's a swell book, read in a few hours, great for an escape.

Named the book Galloway yet it was all about Flaggan with the exception of about 5 chapters and was pretty boring for the most part.
Another in Louis L'Amour's loosely interwoven series of novels about the Sackett family. I enjoyed this one in part for the occasional references to wilderness medicines and folk tales.

The later Sacketts kill me. And Sacketts who muse philosophical about wolves are just too much altogether.
Very quick read with, as is typical with the Sackett series, a lot of action. The title is Galloway, but the first person narrative is from his brother's, Flagan, perspective. In short, the story follows Flagan as he escapes from a rather serious predicament and then runs afoul of a local family of toughs. As he and Galloway begin to build their ranch, they end up in a minor war of sorts with the Dunn family, who find out that the Sacketts do not back down.
As is common with the Sackett books, we see others come to their aid when needed. And I'll be honest...I'm always a bit giddy when one of the Clinch Mountain boys (in this case, Logan) shows up.
