    " Kelton shares (mostly humorous) stories about growing up on a ranch in Texas with a stern father, that didn't understand his literary leanings. My favorite portion of the book is the sweet, love story about how Kelton met his future wife, Anni, during World War II. "

    " Real-life stories about cowboys & ranch life are often as good as or better than fiction! "

    " There are simply not enough superlatives to describe the writings of Elmer Kelton. He is truly Texas finest writer, no one has ever been more able to describe the people and country of our State. His novels and books are timeless classics to be read over and over. "

    " I am a fan of Elmer Kelton, so his autobiography intrigued me. I am a West Texas girl at heart and relate to his story. This will only appeal to Kelton fans or folks from West Texas. "

    " Those who enjoy Elmer Kelton will be interested in this autobiography. He not only speaks about his life but goes out of his way to describe West Texas. As someone from the area, I assure you he paints an accurate picture. "

    " Really enjoyed this book after discovering this author. I was living in Midland and working in Odessa when I read this book which explains alot about the area. If you read Elmer Kelton's westerns, you will enjoy this book about the author! "
