About this product
Product Information
The Good Old Boys and The Smiling Country pairs two wonderful novels by one of the most honored of all western writers, Elmer Kelton The Good Old Boys Hewey Calloway has a problem. He wants to be a footloose cowboy, endlessly wandering the land on horseback, but the open range of his childhood is slowly disappearing. Land is being parceled out, barbed-wire fences are springing up all over, and cars are replacing the horse as a mode of transportation. Swimming against the tide of "progress," Hewey begins to understand that the time of the cowboy is over, that the life he dreams of has become part of the past. He must find a new path to happiness--one that may require a great sacrifice. The Smiling Country It is now 1910 and Hewey Calloway's freewheeling life is coming to an end--the fences, trucks, and automobiles he hates are even creeping in to remote Alpine in the "smiling country" of West Texas. When he is badly injured trying to break a renegade horse, Hewey's regrets over his lost love, schoolteacher Spring Renfro haunt him as he sees the loneliness that awaits him. The Smiling Country is filled with humor, love, and the lore of the cowboy life at a time when the great, free, open ranges of the West were adjusting to a new, technological era.

Praise for Elmer Kelton: "One of the best of a new breed of Western writers who have driven the genre into new territory." -- The New York Times "Kelton is a genuine craftsman with an ear for dialogue and, more importantly, an understanding of the human heart." -- Booklist " The Smiling Country is a superb Kelton--a warm, nonviolent tale with captivating characters, a sweet love story, the flavor of a better time that has sadly passed." -- Rocky Mountain News "You can never go wrong if you want to read a good story with realistic characters and you pick up a title by Elmer Kelton. In the case of his newest book, The Smiling Country, the guarantee is as good as gold. . . . 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, Praise for Elmer Kelton: "One of the best of a new breed of Western writers who have driven the genre into new territory." -- The New York Times "Kelton is a genuine craftsman with an ear for dialogue and, more importantly, an understanding of the human heart." -- Booklist " The Smiling Country is a superb Kelton--a warm, nonviolent tale with captivating characters, a sweet love story, the flavor of a better time that has sadly passed." -- Rocky Mountain News "You can never go wrong if you...pick up a title by Elmer Kelton.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
