713:โ€“ Nolan Sackett โ€“ 1871 (Information in Chapters 14 and 15 place this novel after the Sacketts arrive in Mora and prior to the end of "The Daybreakers", and prior to "Mojave Crossing" and "The Sackett Brand". In Chapter 14 of "Mustang Man", Nolan rides into a camp and, while negotiating a horse trade, tells the campers that he is headed for Mora to visit some kin named Sackett. The camp riders state that they have heard of the Sacketts in Mora but do not make any reference to Tyrel as the Mora gunfighter which could indicate that this book takes place prior to 1872 which is when Tyrel has the big gunfight with Tom Sunday and becomes known as the Mora gunfighter In Chapter 15, Nolan tells Ollie Shaddock that he does not know Tyrel or Orrin Sackett but has heard of them. He would later join Tyrel and Orrin in the final shootout in "The Sackett Brand". Since he does not mention to Ollie Shaddock anything about knowing Tell, this would imply that this tale also takes place prior to "Mojave Crossing" in which Tell first meets up with Nolan as indicated in "The Sackett Brand" because, in Ch 16 of "The Sackett Brand", Tell informs the reader that he has met Nolan before when Nolan helped with a serious situation told about in "Mojave Crossing". Considering that the camp riders in Chapter 14 do not refer to Tyrel as the Mora Gunfighter, it seems reasonable to assume that "Mustang Man" is set in 1871 prior to 1872 when he had the big gunfight that earned him that reputation.) 570:
his tales of the Sacketts to include numerous members of the Sackett clan as well members of the Talon and Chantry families who would over the generations have various relationships with the Sacketts. In "The Sackett Companion", L'Amour described "The Man From the Broken Hills" as being a Talon book. He wanted the Talon and Chantry books to be seen as series of books separate from the Sackett books. Yet, at the same time, he had already written and planned future stories establishing various connections between the three families. In so doing, he had already begun creating a single saga that was built around the Sacketts and reflected how L'Amour wanted to describe the settling of the American frontiers in an entertaining and, yet, a relatively accurate historical and cultural way with bigger than life characters. Included in the saga are several novels which are not specifically Sackett, Talon, or Chantry tales but, rather outliers where L'Amour managed to weave a Sackett touch into the story. Examples of these outliers are "Bendigo" and "Passin' Through". The following is a suggested chronological listing of the 32 novels that make up this saga of the Sacketts and their kin.
743:โ€“ Flagan and Galloway Sackett โ€“ 1877 โ€“ (Based on the timing of "The Sackett Brand", "The Skyliners" and "Milo Talon", "Galloway" would have to take place in late 1877. "The Skyliners" appears to take place immediately after "The Sackett Brand" which would indicate that "Galloway" takes place after "The Skyliners". This is never directly stated though, and none of the events of "The Skyliners" are mentioned despite the degree of prominence they brought to Flagan and Galloway. This has led to alternate theories that "Galloway" is set earlier and that Flagan and Galloway's ranch failed, causing them to return to Tennessee just before the events of "The Skyliners" (although this would not explain the absence of Galloway's wolf). Regardless of this, it is also apparent that "Galloway" takes place prior to "Milo Talon" because Milo Talon mentions a cousin who is followed around by a wolf. The latest that "Milo Talon" can take place is also 1877 which places "Galloway" in 1877 as well. It covers a period of about 70 days which would put it in the September and October timeframe. Parmalee Sackett and Logan Sackett have cameos.) 749:โ€“ Milo Talon โ€“ 1877 โ€“ (This novel has to be after "Galloway" because, in Chapter 3, Milo mentions a cousin with a wolf-dog that follows him around. This would be Flagan in "Galloway". In addition, this would place this story about 12 years after the Civil War because, in Chapter 2, the reader is told that Milo is almost 30 which indicates that he is no older than 29. If he joined the army at 17 to fight in the Civil War and he is 29, that would mean this is 12 years after he joined the army. If he did not join the army until the last year of the war, it would make the latest that "Milo Talon" could take place as 1877 while still being after "Galloway". If the year were after 1877, Milo could not have fought in the Civil War. If the year were prior to 1877 or he is less than 29, it would force the placement of "Milo Talon" earlier than Galloway which would mean there would be no cousin followed by a wolf. Also mentioned is Packet Sackett who was small but feisty and a dead shot.) 488:โ€“ Oldest son of Colburn Sackett ("Ride the Dark Trail" section of "The Sackett Companion"). Fought for the Union in the Civil War. A hard, tough, quiet man who wants only to be left alone, it takes very little to anger Tell, and he will fight like a rabid wolf if pushed, as several men have found out โ€“ usually, it's the last mistake they make. He's a loner, at home in the High Lonesome, often going years without seeing or communicating with his family back in Tennessee. He takes any job that suits him at the moment, from cowhand to miner, and drifts, rarely staying in one place any great length of time. He's killed several men in his lifetime, is fast and deadly accurate with any kind of gun, as well as the Tinker-made knife he carries. Although outwardly he appears rough, he has a sound, strong moral character, never forgetting his father's rule of "...always ride on the side of the law, never against it". In the film adaptations he is portrayed by 498:โ€“ Second son of Colburn Sackett. Orrin likes people and tries to see the best of them. Handsome, witty, and smart, he likes to believe that most people like him, however he can be a bit naive at times. Good with a gun, and always ready with a smile and a quote, he's strong willed and completely devoted to his family. He is calm during a fight, never getting excited or losing his head, a trait that is in all three brothers. Married twice, he killed a member of the Higgins family during a gunfight, only to have Long Higgins come after him on his wedding day. Orrin was unarmed, and his new wife jumped in front of him as Higgins fired, killing her. Orrin's brother Tyrel killed Higgins, then left Tennessee to avoid further problems. Orrin left soon after, promising his mother they'd send for her. He then married the treacherous Laura Pritts who tried to use him as part of her bigoted father's land grab in Santa Fe against the settled Mexican landowners. 520:โ€“ Third son of Colburn Sackett. He idolizes his brothers Tell and Orrin. Known throughout the West as the Mora Gunfighter, and by his brothers as the "mean one" or the "black sheep", Tyrel is the fastest with a gun of the three brothers. Wherever Tyrel goes, he seems to attract trouble, and sooner or later someone always tries to outdraw him, but never succeeds โ€“ by his own admission: "Till the day I hung 'em up, I was the fastest gun alive." Compassionate to a fault, his sense of morals never leaves him and stands as a steady guide on his way west. In Santa Fe he is forced to kill Tom Sunday, a close friend who'd gone bad after losing what he saw as his last chance to start a new life, which affects him deeply. Naive where women are concerned, Tyrel often seems like a shy schoolboy when facing a pretty girl. He marries Drusilla Alvarado, the beautiful granddaughter of a rich Spanish don. In the film adaptations, Tyrel is portrayed by 785:โ€“ Passin' Through โ€“ 1881 โ€“ (In Chapter 8, Passin' tells Ms. Hollyrood that "1881 has started off slow..." This gives the year for this novel. This is another story without an active role played by a Sackett unless Passin' Through is himself actually a Sackett. In Chapter 10, Ms. Hollyrood tells of a shooting incident years before that involved Parmalee Sackett who left shortly thereafter to help a relative who was in trouble. This was likely a reference to Tell Sackett in "The Sackett Brand". In Chapter 23, a young woman named Matty reveals that her last name is Higgins and that she is a Clinch Mountain Higgins. Early on in the Sackett saga, readers learned that the Sacketts had a long running feud with the Higgins. It may be that L'Amour had Matty make this statement because she believed it would mean something to a Sackett.) 773:โ€“ Tell, Tyrel and Orrin Sackett โ€“ circa 1879 โ€“ (1879 seems the most logical time for this novel. This story also starts in the spring which would make it difficult to squeeze it into 1880 because of Tyrel's involvement in "Borden Chantry". The inclusion of a real historical figure, Louis Riel, makes it difficult to place the story after 1885 as Riel was hanged that year during what was called the Second Resistance. It could not be during the First Resistance which took place from 1869 to 1870. In addition, the story makes reference to a Fort Garry. Knowledge indicates that Fort Garry was demolished between 1881 and 1884. Based on the history of Fort Garry, 1879 seems to be a reasonable fit for this novel.) 719:โ€“ William Tell Sackett โ€“ 1873 (Tell leaves Texas after killing a man named Bigelow in a gunfight. He joins a trail herd headed north for Montana. From there, he heads for Mora, New Mexico to find Tyrel & Orrin. Along the way, he stumbles on an old gold mine. When Tell finds his mine, he says it is late spring. The next year he returns to mine in late spring and discovers Ange and her grandfather's grave. The year of 1874 on the gravestone is given in Chapter 8. Tell tells the reader that the year of 1874 is the year before his discovery of the grave. Considering his travels to Montana and towards New Mexico, this indicates that the story began in 1873. This is the first novel about Tell Sackett.) 767:โ€“ Tell Sackett โ€“ 1878 (1878 seems a reasonable year in which to set this novel. First, based on the characters and their familiarity with each other, it is definitely after "The Sackett Brand" in 1877. Second, its inclusion of Flagan Sackett in a minor role and settled in Colorado indicates that it is also set after "Galloway" in 1878. However, it is still in the 1870s as Tell makes a comment in Chapter 2 about the New Orleans of the 1870s which gives reason to place this novel no later than in 1879. But, 1879 would be difficult because Logan is major character in "Lonely On the Mountain" which is likely set in 1879. Major roles are played by Orrin Sackett and the Tinker.) 187:. The family quickly divides into three clans, sired by several of their sons: the "Smoky Mountain Sacketts", "Cumberland Gap Sacketts", and "Clinch Mountain Sacketts". There are also Flatland Sacketts that are rarely touched upon in the novels. It is the Smoky Mountain Sacketts that produce some of L'Amour's most memorable and beloved characters including William Tell "Tell" Sackett and his brothers, Tyrel and Orrin, of the novel "Sackett" (see below) and others. Orrin was a Sheriff, legislator and eventually senator. Tyrel became a respected rancher and lawman often simply known as the "Mora Gunfighter" after the town he settled in. 658:โ€“ Tom Shanaghy โ€“ 1866 (In Chapter 1, Shanaghy recalls his arrival in New York where he meets John Morrisey. Morrisey is another of those actual historical figures often found in L'Amour's books. Shanaghy is told that Morrisey "was" the heavyweight bare-knuckle champion. Shanaghy recalls working for Morrisey for 12 years which would place the time about 1866. It would not likely be later because Morrisey was elected to the US Congress in 1867. Contains the smallest Sackett reference of all with no specific Sackett identified. It just has a reference to a "man in Tennessee by the name of Sackett".) 429:โ€“ Twin brother of Nolan Sackett. Comes from the Clinch Mountain branch of Sacketts and lives up to their reputation. Rough, two-fisted, a man "with the bark on", and with a deserved reputation as being fast with a gun and hell-on wheels in any kind of fight, he has ridden the Owlhoot Trail and admits to skirting the dark side of the law on more than one occasion. A lot rougher than Orrin or Tyrel, he is nonetheless a generally decent man. Comes to the aid of his aunt, Emily Talon. 700:โ€“ Otis Tom Chancy โ€“ 1871 (In Chapter 4, the cattle drive reaches Abilene, KS where they find that Wild Bill Hickok is marshal. According to his biography in Knowledge, Hickok was marshal of Abilene only in the year of 1871. In Chapter 1, Gates tells Chancy of a man named Sackett who rode through Texas telling them of a green valley out west which would fit with Tell Sackett's timeline. Chancy then reveals to the reader that he is a distant relative to the Sacketts.) 761:โ€“ Logan Sackett โ€“ 1878 or 79 (1878 appears to be a reasonable year for this novel although it could be later. The story has to follow "Milo Talon" and "The Sackett Brand" because Milo has still not returned home and Logan makes reference to Tell's problems in the Tonto Basin as told in "The Sackett Brand". Logan is the twin brother of Nolan from the Clinch Mountains. Major role is played by Em Talon nee Sackett. Cameos are made by Milo and Barnabas Talon.) 682:โ€“ Milo Talon โ€“ 1868 (In Chapter 1 of this book, Milo states that most of the last three years he had been riding the Outlaw Trail. This indicates that this story takes place three years after the Civil War or Milo would have given more history like he does in "Milo Talon" when he talks of riding shotgun for a stage and working as a town marshal. In Chapter 1, Milo mentions his brother Barnabas who he says is named after the patriarch Barnabas Sackett.) 779:โ€“ Borden Chantry โ€“ 1879 (In Chapter 18, Border asks Tyrel Sackett about unsolved murders in Mora 7โ€“8 years previously. As Tyrel was a deputy sheriff at the end of "The Daybreakers" in 1872, this would imply that "Borden Chantry" is taking place 7 or 8 years after "The Daybreakers" or around 1879 or 1880. As Tyrel Sackett was involved in "Treasure Mountain" set in 1878, the year 1879 seems a reasonable fit. A cameo is made by Tyrel Sackett.) 608:โ€“ Jubal Sackett โ€“ 1630 (In Chapter 13, Jubal Sackett tells the reader that his father "had been in America most of 30 years". This would indicate that Barnabas died in 1629 which makes this story take place circa 1629. Although there is nothing explicit in the story regarding the year, it appears reasonable that this tale may have been intended to be set in an approximate time concurrent with his two brothers in "The Warrior's Path".) 32: 797:โ€“ Tom Chantry โˆ’1906 (Tom is the son of Borden Chantry. In this book, the reader learns that Borden Chantry was town marshal for six years which indicates that he was killed in 1886. No specific year is given for this novel. However, the maps at the front of the book show the Oklahoma panhandle to be Indian Territory. Since Oklahoma became a state in 1907, it would seem the latest setting for this novel would be 1906.) 620:โ€“ Ronan Chantry โ€“ 1805 (The Ferguson Rifle was named after Major Patrick Ferguson who was a real person who was killed in 1780 at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Ronan tells the reader that Major Ferguson gave the rifle to him shortly before being killed. Since Ferguson was killed in 1780 and Ronan claims that he has had the rifle for 25 years, this would make the year of this tale to be 1805.) 199:
were contemporaries as well: Tatton Chantry (the first who used the name Chantry, hero of the novel "Fair Blows the Wind") and a famous pirate called Talon (who took the name after the hook he used for a lost hand) were contemporaries of Barnabas Sackett, around the year 1600. Timing is a little vague, as L'Amour never rewrote his earlier novels and exact years may not match in each novel.
638:โ€“ Bendigo Shafter โ€“ 1866 (In Chapter 29 when the settlers have been in their town for 2 years, Bendigo refers to the nomination of Ulysses S. Grant to be President. According to britannica.com, Grant was nominated and elected in 1868. Since the story began 2 year previous, the story would have begun in 1866. Ethan Sackett plays a major role. "Bendigo Shafter" won a U.S. 737:โ€“ Flagan and Galloway Sackett โ€“ 1877 (This novel takes place right after the story told in "The Sackett Brand". It covers a period of time of about 3 months from about June through August. In addition, Flagan and Galloway run into Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson in Dodge City. Biographies in Knowledge for these two place Earp and Masterson both in Dodge City in 1877. 632:โ€“ Echo Sackett โ€“ 1840 (In Chapter 3, the author tells the reader that James White, the shyster lawyer, had an annual income that was a good income for 1840. Dorian Chantry plays a major role. Cameos include Finian Chantry and Clinch Mountain Sacketts Trulove, Macon and Mordecai. References are made to Daubenny Sackett and Ethan Sackett.) 676:โ€“ Tyrel Sackett and Orrin Sackett โ€“ 1867 to 1872 (In Chapter 3, Tyrel tells the reader when they leave Abilene, "In 1867, the Santa Fe Trail was an old trail..." Later, in Chapter 14, Tyrel replies to a comment from Tom Sunday that it had been 5 years since they had met. In Chapter 3, Tyrel refers to his brother Tell.) 435:โ€“ Twin Brother of Logan Sackett. Comes from the Clinch Mountain Branch of Sacketts. Like his brother, he has ridden the outlaw trail. Rough and dangerous, with a hefty reputation as a very bad man to fool around with, he has a strong sense of right and wrong. Wears three pistols, two tied down and one in his coat. 731:โ€“ Tell Sackett โˆ’1877 (This novel is set in 1877 based on the date that Tell puts on Ange's grave marker. It covers a period of time of only about 40 days late April and May. Sacketts who show up in minor roles include Lando with his friend the Tinker, Nolan, Tyrel, Orrin, Falcon, Flagan, Galloway, and Parmalee.) 602:โ€“ Barnabas Sackett โ€“ 1600 (In Chapter 1, Barnabas has returned to the Fens in England where he comments that nothing has changed "now almost a year later" which indicates it is one year after Sackett's Land" or 1600. Also included are his four sons Kin Ring, Yance, Jubal, and Brian. And, his daughter Noelle) 417:โ€“ Fourth son of Barnabas Sackett. He was the first Sackett to cross the mountains and see the plains. Known as the quiet one, he is a ghost in the woods. Spends much time away from home and eventually quits the hills of North Carolina for the Rocky Mountains. Marries Itchakomi Ishaia, a "Sun" of the Natchee. 578:
