This little dandy outlines how Hewey Calloway changed from Farmer to Cowhand, and how his reluctant brother just sought new farmland. To give brother Walter credit, he gave cowboying an honest try. Hewey Calloway is one of the coolest characters of whom I have ever read. I have found three Calloway novels by Kelton; the other two being THE GOOD OLD BOYS and THE SMILING COUNTRY. There seems to be a gap in time between SIX BITS A DAY and THE GOOD OLD BOYS. If there is another I haven't discovered it. Kelton's stories about life in Texas are not only historical, they are heartwarming.
