The Sacketts(?) people in some of Mr LouisL'Amour's novels are/were they real in American West?

And Jack Burns is another pen-name of this western writer? Thank you so much for your answers.

    Some of the people tied into the stories were real people.. If you look in the back of some of his books he left notes about some of the places and characters. I think the Sacketts were loosely based on Lamoure's own family.

    No, the Sacketts were fictional.

    As far as I know, LL never wrote under a pen name.
