They are a few years old now but worth looking for. 'Dustoff For Willie Peters" by Graeme Sturgeon is also a cracking fact-based novel that is a must read.

Mr Holden possibly unknown to many wrote on contract many cowboy western "books" in the 60's and 70's to keep bread on the table. Those books were staple in every back country hut along with Uncle Hugh's picture books.
