From a forum that discusses the work of Louis L'Amore -- the Official
Louis L'Amour Discussion Forum.
================================
According to a letter which Louis wrote to one of his fans in 1980:
"There is no SACKETT'S GOLD. That title was announced as the title of
a book soon to be out but the title would have been wrong. It was
published as BORDEN CHANTRY. The first title was not my idea. The
pub. wished to announce a book of mine and I hadn't a title, so he
used that. It has caused you, me and a lot of others trouble. Sorry."
This is a phenomenon that happens with writers that write very
quickly and often have several books in the works at one time.
Sometimes the books don't have titles yet and sometimes other books
get finished first and published in place of the originally announced
book.
To our knowledge there has NEVER been a book or a short story
published called "Sackett's Gold."
As Louis said, Sorry!
