: Paul,
: I have a book about Utah ghost towns and I will check it out for you this evening. I just thought you might be interested to know, there were about 6 graves with the Sackett name at the Frisco cemetary. Those are L'Amour characters, arent they?
: : Over many years I have verified the geographical sites in all of Louis L'Amour's novels and short stores, with just one exception. Has anyone heard of "Hattan's Castle? It would have been a very small mining town. From internal evidence I believe it may have been in Southeastern Utah. I could, however, be completely wrong. Any help appreciated.
The Sacketts at Frisco were an early prominent family there. They owned one of the large Hotels there during the 1880's and 90's.
