"It's just a cowboy book, but boy, was it fun. The Calloway brothers join a cattle drive and get into various adventures. No attempt at great literature, but Kelton's writing is more than decent and his plot easy-going and absorbing." — Kathy (4 out of 5 stars)

" This was a lot of fun to read. I enjoyed not only how Elmer Kelton portrayed the cowboy point of view but also the way of speaking. I've gotten all my family to read it. Elmer Kelton did it again with this one. "
" A prequel to "Good Old Boys". Thanks to my father in law, I've really enjoyed reading Kelton. "
