I have read "Hell, I was there" and "Sixguns" by Keith, and tons of both Keith's and O'connor's magazine articles, although none of Keith's books. His lifetime of contributions to the hunting and shooting sports notwithstanding, I can't help but have the impression Elmer was a bit over the top in his story telling. It's just too much. Colonel Charles Askins was another of that type, and to some degree Jeff Cooper. God bless them, but both of them managed to enlarge themselves in their latter years beyond what they were in youth. O'Connor never left me with that impression.
