About this title

Review:

"Kelton, a wonderful storyteller, speaks in the language of the late 1870's. Many of his descriptions and phrases remind me of the verbiage my parents used after settling in eastern Oklahoma when I was child and before I attended Norman schools and the university, where many of those earth comments were considered too 'country' for a developing new state. You will enjoy reading this breath of the past." --"Oklahoman" on "Ranger's Law"
