Stand Proud

Frank Claymore is not easy to like. You can admire him, maybe, but not many can truly say they like the man. He's cantankerous, stubborn, and doesn't tolerate much of anything that displeases him. These very qualities are what make him a successful open-range cattleman on the West Texas frontier. In Elmer Kelton's own words: "Pain resulting from other men's follies causes Stand Proud's Frank Claymore to develop an iron will that heeds no man's judgment except his own, nor any woman's. Some of his decisions are wrong, and the price of pride proves high.".

  • "Follows Frank Claymore, an open-range cattle rancher on the West Texas frontier, from the time of the Civil War to the dawn of the twentieth century--through marriage, births, deaths, and a creeping change in the society that once hailed him as a hero, and which later has him condemned as a despoiler and tried for murder."
  • "On trial for murder, Frank Claymore, an old Texas rancher, recalls his experiences as a young man and the events that led to his trial."
  • ""Elmer Kelton writes of early Texas with unerring authority. His knowledge of the state's history is complete, too-drawn from the lives of real people ... The fate of Texas is at hand, and Kelton will have readers eager to find out what happens."-"@en
