Bonham was known for his works for young adults written in the 1960s, with tough, realistic urban settings,[2] including The Nitty Gritty and Durango Street,[3] as well as for his westerns. Several of his works have been published posthumously, many of which were drawn from his pulp magazine stories, originally published between 1941 and 1952. Durango Street was an ALA Notable Book.
