About this book
"Hot Iron" (1956, 199 pages) is Elmer Kelton's earliest standalone Western on this list, opening a fifty-year run of novels -- ending with "Many a River" in 2008 -- that consistently traded gunfighter mythology for the hard realities of drought, debt, and ranch life he covered as a farm and ranch journalist.
