The Good Old Boys
Hewey Calloway has a problem. He wants to be a footloose cowboy, endlessly wandering the land on horseback, but the open range of his childhood is slowly disappearing. Land is being parceled out, barbed-wire fences are springing up all over, and cars are replacing the horse as a mode of transportation. Swimming against the tide of progress, Hewey begins to understand that the time of the cowboy is over, that the life he dreams of has become part of the past. He must find a new path to happinessone that may require a great sacrifice.

The Smiling Country
It is now 1910 and Hewey Calloways freewheeling life is coming to an endthe fences, trucks, and automobiles he hates are even creeping in to remote Alpine in the smiling country of West Texas. When he is badly injured trying to break a renegade horse, Heweys regrets over his lost love, schoolteacher Spring Renfro haunt him as he sees the loneliness that awaits him. The Smiling Country is filled with humor, love, and the lore of the cowboy life at a time when the great, free, open ranges of the West were adjusting to a new, technological era.
