Lonesome Dove
Spanning four novels—Dead Man’s Walk, Comanche Moon, Lonesome Dove, and Streets of Laredo—this sweeping Western saga chronicles the lives of Texas Rangers Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae. The series explores their adventures, heartbreaks, and evolving friendship against the backdrop of the American frontier. Lonesome Dove, the most famous entry and a Pulitzer Prize winner, captures an epic cattle drive filled with danger and loss. With poetic prose and moral depth, McMurtry’s series reflects on aging, duty, and the harsh beauty of the Old West.
More than a love story, more than an adventure, Lonesome Dove is an epic: a monumental novel which embraces the spirit of the last defiant wilderness of America. Legend and fact, heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers - Lonesome Dove is the central, enduring American experience dramatically recreated in a magnificent story of heroism and love; of honour, loyalty and betrayal.
