Editorial Review:
Filled with action, adventure, mystery, and historical detail, the Sackett saga is an unforgettable achievement by one of America's greatest storytellers. In Mustang Man, Louis L'Amour tells the tale of a man who lived by his own law-even if it meant being branded an outlaw. Lost gold on the Santa Fe trail.Nolan Sackett was running ahead of a posse when he stopped to help a wagon stuck on the plains. But why was it stranded in the middle of nowhere with a beautiful-and murderous-young woman? Nolan was trying to find out when he ran into Penelope Hume, another attractive lady. She was the key to a cache of gold hidden in the mountains. But to get the rightful heiress there first, Nolan would have to help her beat out jealous relations, paid assassins, and a killer without a conscience... all maddened by gold fever.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Storytelling masterfully done
No one matches Louis L'Amour for writing westerns. He is unquestionably the daddy of Western literature.
In Mustang Man, Nolan Sackett, a man on the run, helps out a group stranded in the middle of no where, only to be had by them later in the hunt for gold. Although the plot is straight-forward and a little predictable, the the first-person narrative is always engaging and Nolan Sackett becomes a well-defined and likeable protagonist.
Highly recommended.
Rating:  - Another good one in the Sackett series
L'Amour never really missed with any of his books. If you would like to read about the American West, a family that I wish mine was like, please read the Sackett series of books.
Rating: - Almost too much for even a Sackett to handle
Louis L'Amour really was a master at his craft. "Mustang Man" is a fairly short book, but it is packed with action and intrigue. There are several groups in the book looking for 300 pounds of gold. The hero, Nolan Sackett, gets caught up in the race when he tries to help a stranded group.
The book starts off with Nolan on the run, he beat a man to the draw, and the man's friends come after Nolan intending to kill him. Nolan has a run in with another man when Nolan needs ... Read More
Rating: - Why I Read L'Amour
I had read a couple other Louis L'Amour books before I found this one. It was seventh grade and it so affecimpressed me that I knew then that I would name my first son Nolan, after the main character. It was many years before I had a son, but his name is Nolan.
This book does not cover new ground (literarily speaking) from other L'Amour novels, but in this one he is at the top of his craft. An abrupt beginning and a ride that keeps you clinging to the saddle for the whole story are just a ... Read More
Rating: - For all who are fans of classic Louis L'Amour westerns
Mustang Man is the unabridged audiobook presentation of a novel of Old West in the era of gold rush fever, written by the popularly cherished, award-winning author Louis L'Amour. A part of The Sacketts series, this is the story of a man who lives by his own moral code, and finds himself caught in a crossfire between a rightful heiress, her jealous relations, and a remorseless killer. An exciting and dramatic tale of the lengths to which greed can drive human beings, Mustang Man is vividly narrated ... Read More
