Lonesome Dove

by Larry McMurtry · Lonesome Dove series

Aging Texas Rangers Gus McCrae and Woodrow Call undertake one last great cattle drive from the Rio Grande to Montana in the 1870s, gathering a crew of cowboys, outlaws, and fortune seekers. McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning epic transforms the Western genre into literary tragedy, chronicling love, violence, friendship, and the closing of the American frontier across thousands of miles. An elegiac masterwork of character and landscape.
