What Should I Read Next Book recommendations for people who like The Time It Never Rained by Elmer Kelton. Elmer Kelton, embodies Texas drought of record that lasted from 1950 to 1957. Charlie Flagg, among the strongest of Elmer Kelton's memorable creations, is no pasteboard hero. Refusing the questionable assistance of federal aid programs and their bureaucratic regulations, Charlie and his family struggle to make the ranch survive until the time it rains again- if it ever rains again. To cranky Charlie Flagg, an honest, decent rancher, the drought of the early 1950s is a battle that he must fight on his own grounds. And Rio Seco, meaning dry river in Spanish, symbolizes the biggest enemy of the ranchers and farmers in 1950s Texas, an enemy they can't control: drought. The Time It Never Rained was inspired by actual events, when the longest and most severe drought in living memory pressed ranchers and farmers to the outer limits of courage and endurance.-Elmer Kelton Rio Seco was too small to afford a professional manager for its one-room Chamber of Commerce.
