The Smiling Country Tapa blanda - 2006
de Elmer Kelton
Hewey Calloway, the footloose cowboy of "The Good Old Boys, " is trying to adjust to the trappings of modern life springing up around him in the "Smiling Country" of West Texas in 1910--all the while regretting his decision for years earlier to run away from the only woman he ever loved.

Descripción de contraportada
Hewey returns in The Smiling Country. It is now 1910 and his free-wheeling life is coming to an end -- the fences, trucks, and automobiles he hates are creeping in even to remote Alpine, in the "smiling country" of West Texas. When he is badly injured trying to break a renegade horse, he thinks for the first time of his future and sees the loneliness that awaits him, and regrets his decision to run away from the only woman he has ever loved, the schoolteacher Spring Renfro.
The Smiling Country is filled with humor, love, and the lore of the cowboy life at a time when the great, free, open ranges of the West were adjusting to a new, technological era. It is destined to stand, as so many Kelton books have, among the great Western novels of all time.
