A must read for anyone interested in "Western" life.

Anyone who has seen and felt the vastness of west Texas will want to read this book. Kelton's characters and settings are remarkable and genuine. This was one of the finest books I've read and it goes far beyond being catagorized as a Western. It is about people and relationships with others and the land.

The best of the best from the very best.

This book is, to me, the jewel in the crown of that outstanding body of work that convinced the Western Writers of America that Elmer Kelton should be disignated the best Western writer of all time. The author's obvious gut-level understanding of West Texas, the people who live here, and the lifestyle forced on its inhabitants by the vagaries of Mother Nature join to make this his finest contribution to literature to date. Mr. Kelton is without peer in his ability to develop characters so vividly that each reader truly feels that he/she has met them and known them for years. His descriptions of places and situations are so realistic and detailed that, with only a little imagination, a clear picture forms in the mind's eye of the reader. There is no doubt that Mr. Kelton has experienced more than one West Texas drouth. It is equally obvious that he has closely observed the drastic changes that befall the reigon, its people, and their livestock when these natural disa! sters occurr. A must for Kelton's fans, and for his fans-to-be who love stories based in the lore of the West, but have not yet experienced the rich satisfaction that can result only from reading the works of this master story weaver.

One of our countries best books

Great book! Kelton shows us Charlie Flagg's country. You'll like it

Great

Elmer Kelton tells it the way it is about a Texas drought. The creeks go dry, ranchers take their losses and shed their excess - then they cry a little and count on their sons who are never there to pull them out. You won't put it down. Try mine by searching butler, luthe

Beyond the quality of Kelton's stories, especially this one, is the quality of his characters. His leading character, an individualistic, independent, honest and brave rancher, is one of the most admirable people I have ever read about. This was the first Kelton book I read, and I became a Kelton addict. I have read and re-read this, and highly recommend it. Excellent!
