Learn moreRascally cowboy Hewey Calloway is heading north to Colorado on a horse drive for an old friend when he gets word that one of his hired hands is planning to rob him. After the plot is foiled, the fugitive horsehand is on the run and leaving bodies in his wake. Hewey, the worst pistol shot in the West, is deputized to bring the criminal to justice, bestowing him with a weight of responsibility he's long avoided and leaving him to wonder if even the help of a retired Texas Ranger is enough to put an end to this trail of dastardly deeds. Steve Kelton's The Unlikely Lawman will transport you to an Old West full of duplicity, gunfights, and, of course, plenty of cowboys and robbers.
Steve Kelton is retired from the San Angelo-based Livestock Weekly. Aside from journalism, he is the author of two nonfiction books about Texas. A West Texas native, he is a son of the late Western novelist and livestock journalist Elmer Kelton. During his youth, he 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.
Elmer Kelton (1926-2009) was the award-winning author of more than forty novels, including The Time It Never Rained. He grew up on a ranch near Crane, Texas, earned a journalism degree from the University of Texas, worked as an agricultural journalist, and served in the infantry in World War II. Among his awards were seven Spurs from Western Writers of America and four Western Heritage awards from the National Cowboy Hall of Fame. His novel The Good Old Boys was made into a television film.
