Louis Lamour Book Reviews

Parmalee Sackett is a flatland Sackett.  As far as I can tell this means that rather than being poor and dressed like a mountain man or farm boy he is wealthy and dresses the part.  Otherwise he is very much a Sackett.

Parmalee uses money in the same way that other Sacketts use a knife or a gun.  He uses it to crush his adversaries and to improve his position.  In “The Sackett Brand” he uses it to help Tell Sackett.  The book doesn’t go on to describe what profits he may have gained from helping out his cousin, but you can be sure that any Sackett worth his salt made sure to cash in on the situation if for no better reason than to be able to help future Sacketts.
