Average rating3.8
In Ride the River, Louis L'Amour spins the tale of a young woman who has to protect her family fortune from a murderous thief and teach him what it means to be a Sackett. Sixteen-year-old Echo Sackett had never been far from her Tennessee home--until she made the long trek to Philadelphia to collect an inheritance. Echo could take care of herself as well as any Sackett man, but James White, a sharp city lawyer, figured that cheating the money from the young girl would be like taking candy from a baby. If he couldn't hoodwink Echo out of the cash, he'd just steal it from her outright. And if she put up a fight? There were plenty of accidents that could happen to a country girl on her first trip to the big city.From the Paperback edition.

My takeaway from this book is, “Don't mess with Sacketts, not even if the Sackett is a girl”. (Or perhaps, “especially not if the Sackett is a girl”.)
Like a lot of L'Amour's books, this one could have used a good structural edit. That said, it is still an enjoyable action story set in 1800s America.
