Reviews

Praise for The Hewey Calloway Series

“Kelton’s characters jump off the page, they are so real. This is another fine title from the man named the
Greatest Western Writer of All Time in a 1995 survey by the Western Writers of America.” ― American Cowboy on The Smiling Country

“At times a pitiable comic misfit, Hewey is also a heroic and morally straight arbiter of all not right with a Southwest growing up.” ―East Texas Historical Journal on The Good Old Boys

“Easygoing days in the saddle, related in a drawl that’s sweet as pure honey. One has to appreciate a Western
whose hero is so bad with a revolver that he couldn’t hit water if he was standing knee deep in a lake.” ―Kirkus Reviews on Six Bits a Day

“The characters resonate with traditional genre values but don’t fall into stereotype. Baker, in particular, is introspective and compassionate. Steve Kelton’s author’s note shows an obvious affection for both his rancher grandfather and his father, and The Unlikely Lawman

honors his family’s legacy.” ―Booklist starred review on The Unlikely Lawman

About the Author

STEVE KELTON (1951-2022) spent 42 years as an editor for the San Angelo-based Livestock Weekly. A West Texas native, he was the son of the late Western novelist and livestock journalist Elmer Kelton. During his youth, Steve spent as much time as possible on the McElroy Ranch in West Texas’s Crane and Upton counties. Managed by his grandfather, Buck Kelton, the McElroy was where Elmer and his brothers grew up. Aside from journalism, Steve was the author of the nonfiction books, Renderbrook, A Century Under The Spade Brand, a history of the Renderbrook Spade ranch in West Texas; and Grassroots Legacy, a commissioned history of the Texas Farm Bureau’s first 50 years.
