     Elmer Kelton is *excellent*. Personally, I think of him as a good novelist   
   who writes books set in the Old West, not as a writer of "Westerns". :-)   
   Among other things, I've found his books to be far more historically   
   accurate than the typical written-for-the-genre ones.   
      
     And on the subject of Zane Grey: it's worth pointing out that quite a few   
   of his books were contemporary, or nearly so, at the time they were written   
   (between 1910 and 1939)- I remember reading several in which people drove   
   automobiles.
