Reviews
On Apr 9 2020, a reader said:
This "prequel" to The Good Old Boys is more light hearted and free than that book or The Smiling Country, both of which follow the life of Hewey Calloway. The time period is 1889 in West Texas and jobs are hard to come by, so when you found one you accepted what the ranch owner was willing to pay, in this case six bits. This is your usual Elmer Kelton book with all the events and activities one would find in any western--rustlers, and outlaws, and evil men bent on destroying society. One of his best books.
