  See his photo and a selection of stories about him.
  See a list of his books, which include five that won Western Writers' Golden Spur Awards.

• Pert Kelton, who was in the Broadway production of "The Music Man." See her Family Register.

•  The 3 Keltons of Vaudeville, who performed in the early part of the twentieth century on the Vaudeville circuit.
