| Summary |
Whatever Elmer Kelton says is worth listening to. Here are five of this famous author's best speeches, recorded live. Known for his award-winning fiction, Kelton, who in 1995 was named the greatest Western author of all time by Western Writers of America, is highly sought after as a keynote speaker. His vast knowledge of and passion for the subjects he uses as backdrops for his novels is evident in these finely-crafted, humorous talks. Finalist in AudioWorld's 2004 Golden Headsets Awards for Best Self-Help/Inspirational Audi. |
