About this book

"The Wolf and the Buffalo" (1980, 566 pages) is one of the more than thirty standalone Western novels Elmer Kelton published outside his named series, sharing no characters or continuity with the others and readable in any order. Like the rest of his work, it trades gunfighter mythology for the harder realities of ranching -- drought, debt, and the closing of the open range -- drawn from Kelton's own career as a farm and ranch journalist.
