Badger Boy and The Way of the Coyote : Two Complete Texas Rangers Novels by Elmer Kelton
Elmer Kelton, the most honored of all Western writers, brings to life the formative years of the Texas Rangers with the knowledge of a native Texan and the skill of a master storyteller. In Rusty Shannon, a tough and smart young man navigating the dangers of the 1860s Texas frontier, Kelton has created one of the most memorable characters in modern Western fiction.
In Badger Boy, the Civil War is over, and Texas reluctantly yields to the Union soldiers spreading across the state, even into dangerous Comanche country. David "Rusty" Shannon, a proud member of a ranging company protecting settlers from Indian attacks, finds the rangers disbanded. He returns home to his land on the Red River, hoping to take up farming and marry his beloved Geneva Monohan.
In The Way of the Coyote, the Civil War has ended and Union soldiers control Texas as Rusty Shannon rides home to the Colorado River. His fate intertwines with Andy Pickard, a young man recently rescued from Comanche captivity, known as "Badger Boy." In a tempestuous time of murderous outlaws, vengeful lawmen, vigilantes, and the ever-dangerous Comanche, Rusty desperately tries to resume his pre-war life.
This volume includes two complete Western novels from Elmer Kelton's acclaimed Texas Rangers series, offering a thrilling and authentic portrayal of the Old West.

Praise for this book"As gratifying as a McMurtry side plot and with more gritty excitement than just about any Hollywood cowboy flick, this outing highlights the post–Civil War limbo suffered by the Texas Rangers...Kelton covers a wide swath of history with aplomb, illuminating a little-known period in Western history. California is still Mexican, Indians are a real threat and outlaws rule the land in this rough-riding adventure tale."—Publishers Weekly
