Title: Character rich, classic Kelton!
Review: If you want to know why the Western Writers of America have endowed Elmer Kelton with six Spur Awards and voted him greatest Western writer of all time, read THE BUCKSKIN LINE. The main character, Rusty Shannon, joins the Texas Rangers in a time before they were formally organized and glazed with glamour and prestige. Rusty's role with the Rangers takes a personal turn when he's forced to confront Buffalo Caller, the Comanche responsible for the slaying of his family during his boyhood. This encounter, along with the meeting of beautiful Geneva Monahan, casts the setting for another remarkable Kelton tale, character rich and full of Texas history. A must read, not just for fans of Western Literature, but for anyone who appreciates quality writing and a surefire adventure.
