Elmer Kelton recommends
 Burn, Missouri, Burn (1995) (Kimbrough family, book 1) Randal L Greenwood "Randal Greenwood is a new name but one to watch, judging by this opening novel in an action-filled series set in the Civil War's bloody border states." |  Me and Johnny Blue (2000) (Johnny Blue, book 1) Joseph A West "A rollicking big windy." |  To the Ends of the Earth (2006) Frances Hunter "Full of the lore, and color of the time... imaginative." | |
 Should an Eagle Fall (2010) Ken Hodgson "Ken Hodgson pokes a sharp stick in the eye of political correctness with this story of bureaucratic overkill and media bias in today's West." |  Nights of the Red Moon (2010) Milton T Burton "A long-running poker game, a sting operation, a heist, a secret Nazi past, and to top it all off, a thundering West Texas oil boom. THE ROGUES' GAME pulls them off in a fast-moving thriller." |
