Hewey Calloway is between a rock and a hard place: The open range and simple life of his childhood are disappearing. He can't live a cowboy life whose time has passed and he's not ready yet for the new challenges of the 20th century, like automobiles, telephones, and barbed wire fences. He and his friends, all of them good old boys, must learn that even the best choices involve some kind of sacrifice.

In the Texas backlands in 1885, 12-year-old Joey Shipman's father dies under mysterious circumstances, and the boy is forced to live with his stepmother and Blair Meacham, a hanger-on at the farm.

Beau and three other characters become Joey's unlikely partners as he is trailed by their murderous Meacham, in league with Joey's stepmother in their scheme to inherit the Shipman farm.

In the 1870s, buffalo hunters moved onto the High Plains of Texas. The Plains Indians watched hunters slaughter the animals that gave them shelter and clothing, food, and weapons. The battles at and near the ruins of a trading fort, Adobe Walls, became symbolic of the struggles between hunters and the Comanche.

Nearly 70, Wes Hendricks has led a tough and colorful life as a cowboy and broncobuster, and all he asks now is that he be left alone on his poor, hardscrabble ranch in the West Texas hill country. Not a chance - the powers that be in the little town of Big River (including Wes' old cowboy pal, druggist/Mayor Orville Levitt) have decreed that an artificial lake will be created to generate tourism, and Wes' ranch stands squarely in their way.

In 1861, men are enlisting in the Texas Mounted Rifles to keep the land free from Indian raids. There are larger conflicts, however. Texas has seceeded from the union while war brews between the North and the South. Sam Houston Cloud has just joined the Texas Rifles. But he is deeply disturbed by the suffering he sees on all sides: White and Indian, Texan and immigrant. Elmer Kelton has an amazing talent for sweeping away stereotypes and filling his novels with unique, unforgettable men and women who know the ways of the frontier. Audie Award-winning narrator George Guidall's performance is superb.

Donovan was supposed to be dead. The town of Dry Fork, southern Texas, had buried him years before when Uncle Joe Vickers had fired off both barrels of a shotgun into the vicious outlaw's face as he was escaping from jail. Now Uncle Joe has been shot - in just the same way. And Judge Upshaw had found a noose hanging on his door.

Frontier mobster Big Boy Daugherty warns any who'd stand in his way: Get out or die. One man will do neither. Sheriff Dave Buckalew is a man too proud to give up and too stubborn to give in. He liked his town the way it was - before the bootleggers, brothels, and fortune-seeking roustabouts - and so did a lot of other hardworking, decent folk. Together they'll fight to win back their town - and their future. This is the story of their heroic stand.

One of America's greatest Western storytellers, Elmer Kelton has been voted the greatest Western writers of all time by the Western Writers of America. Dark Thicket is one of his many classic tales of the history of his home state of Texas. Young Owen Danforth rides home to Texas as a wounded Confederate soldier, at a time when his home state is as savagely divided as his nation. As a grievously wounded America staggers toward the inevitable end of the Civil War, secessionist "home guards" and staunch Union loyalists fight their own bloody battles on a more local scale.

Love listening to Elmer Kelton’s trio of Hewey Calloway books. Each book is great! Kelton is the very best western writer. It’s easy to read all Kelton books over and over. Sue McKenzie

Great Texas writer!
Kelton is an incredible writer and provides a fabulous story with a backdrop of Texas history and a reminder of how America and Texas were built. I'm on my 6th book now and can't get enough. If you love Texas--or the" idea" of Texas--you will love Kelton and his characters. Give yourself a break from the news and read/listen to Kelton. Guidall is the perfect reader too.

Enjoyable story
Kelton always keeps me interested and this book was no exception. I like the way he develops his characters. I inevitably feel like I am riding along with his cowboys. Guidall is a great narrator and I enjoy his characters' voices.

Just Plain Fun
That's what this is: just plain fun. A faced-paced adventure told with a light touch that carries a constant undercurrent of humor, this story is a joy to listen to. You won't want it to end. Luckily it doesn't end. Not here, at least. This novel is the first installment of a three-book series that follows the story of Hewey Calloway over three decades. “The Good Old Boys” is the second book of the trilogy, “The Smiling Country” the third. (By the way, Audible gets this order wrong, listing the last two titles in reverse order. Don’t believe them.) Each book is better than the one before: it’s a real pleasure to watch Hewey grow over time even as he actively resists the process, determined to stay the foot-loose, irresponsible free-spirit he was in his youth. Throughout it all he remains one of the most enjoyable characters I have encountered in some time.
The narrator for all three books is the masterful George Guidall. Just the fact that he’s on board is a recommendation in itself. Treat yourself.
