Orin and Tell team up with the Tinker and a black man named Judas Priest to follow a 20-year-old trail. They need to find out what happened to their father. He went west guiding a party from New Orleans and never returned. The trail may be old, but the motives are still fresh and deadly, and someone wants to make sure the answers are never found. (  ) MerryMary | Mar 3, 2009 |  The Sackett boys track a twenty-year-old trail to satisfy their Ma. Orrin heads to New Orleans to discover what really happened to Pa, and runs into a deadly family who seems to know much more than they're telling. The trail leads West, of course, and involves gold and old betrayal. Orrin and Tell, along with the Tinker and Judas Priest, whose father had also gone West with that fateful party, head out to find the truth. Along the way they tangle with kidnappers, dry-gulchers, backstabbers, and Trelawney girls. But a Sackett never quits. (  ) velyrhorde | Oct 14, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553276891, Paperback)Filled with exciting tales of the frontier, the chronicle of the Sackett family is perhaps the crowning achievement of one of our greatest storytellers. In Treasure Mountain Louis L’Amour delivers a robust story of two brothers searching to learn the fate of their missing father — and finding themselves in a struggle just to stay alive.Orrin and Tell Sackett had come to exotic New Orleans looking for answers to their father’s disappearance twenty years before. To uncover the truth, the brothers enlisted the aid of a trailwise gypsy and a mysterious voodoo priest as they sought to re-create their father’s last trek. But Louisiana is a dangerous land, and with one misstep the brothers could disappear in the bayous before they even set foot on the trail that led to whatever legacy their father had left behind ... and a secret worth killing for.
