The Lonesome Dove Series Book Reviews
The Lonesome Dove Series by Larry McMurtry Book Summary
The timeless, bestselling four-part epic that began with the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove takes readers into the lives of Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call, two tough-as-nails Texas Rangers in the heyday of the Old West.
Dead Man’s Walk
As young Texas Rangers, Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call—"Gus" and "Call" for short—have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians, but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions—led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western—they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life.
Comanche Moon
Texas Rangers August McCrae and Woodrow Call, now in their middle years, are still figuring out how to deal with the ever-increasing tensions of adult life—Gus with his great love, Clara Forsythe, and Call with Maggie Tilton, the young whore who loves him—when they sign up to pursue the Comanche horse thief Kicking Wolf into Mexico. On this mission, their captain, Inish Scull, is captured by the brutally cruel Mexican bandit Ahumado, and Gus and Call must come to the rescue, with the aid of new friends including Joshua Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker, as well as the renowned Kickapoo tracker, Famous Shoes.
Lonesome Dove
Gus and Call, now retired from the Texas Rangers and settled in the border town of Lonesome Dove running the Hat Creek Cattle Company, are visited by their old friend Jake Spoon, who convinces Gus and Call to gather a herd of cattle and drive them north to Montana in order to start a cattle ranch in untouched territory. Gus is further motivated by a desire to see the love of his life, Clara Allen (previously Clara Forsythe), who now lives with her children and comatose horse-trader husband in Ogallala, Nebraska. On the way to Montana they travel through wild country full of thieves, murderers, and a lifetime's worth of unforgettable adventure.
Streets of Laredo
Woodrow Call is back in Texas, a Ranger once again and a general gun-for-hire, but increasingly a relic as the westward sprawl of the railroads rapidly settles the once lawless frontier. Hired by a railroad tycoon to hunt down a dangerous bandit named Joey Garza, Call sets out once again with a hapless Yankee named Ned Brookshire who works for the railroad company that hired Call. Call's old friend Pea Eye Parker—who initially refused to join the expedition because of his family—sets off with the Kickapoo tracker Famous Shoes to try to catch up with Call, until he runs into troubles of his own. The long pursuit of Garza leads them all across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

Lonesome Dove series.. Excellent!
Blacktalon1. Some of his best work. I didn’t want it to end!
Lonesome Dove Series. I absolutely loved Larry McMurtry's series following August, Call, and the continuing crew of rival Indian leaders, fellow rangers, and beloved 'ladies'. I have found it so hard to find something new to read after finishing this series.. McMurtry's writing is so easy to relate to - in terms of emotions - I can't relate to being in similar situations, but his writing makes you feel like a fellow ranger. He makes you feel the pressure of protecting your territory and comrades, while respecting those you must fight. I loved all of the first 3 books. Streets of Laredo was not my favorite - mainly because I knew the series was coming to and end AND it was a 'later in life' story that showed the weakness of our favorite characters. Anyways, loved the entire series. I recommend it!
6 stars.... Quite simply my favorite literary characters of all time......masterful writing.....
Lonesome Dove Never Stops Giving. I just love long stories that go on and on and on. They are like old friends you’ve known forever or a family member who is always around. There’s something comforting about them; and the Lonesome Dove series is just that. The characters become your friends. The old west was a harsh place to live. Grit was imperative back then. You had to be tough and smart to survive - something we could all use a bit more of these days. Backbone and Perseverance.
Lonesome Dove. One of the best novels I’ve ever read. TV production miscast Call. I like James Garner but it should’ve been Sam Elliot.
3 hits + home runs. Larry Mc Murtry is very good writer, that's a fact. The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and too many other good books and screenplays to mention (HUD with Paul Newman, OK I mentioned one). Lonesome Dove the original novel is by far his masterwork, a great American novel up there with Huck Finn and Moby Dick. The two prequels and one sequel are not up to that standard but still entertaining. If you don't want to invest the time in all four just get the third book in the sequence, Lonesome Dove which is the first to be written. If you're hooked after that (and you probably will), move back to the first and read the rest.
