Abstract
Lonesome Dove: Hard-bitten ex-Texas Ranger Captain Woodrow F. Call convinces his partner and friend Augustus McCrae to pull up stakes from the dusty Texas town of Lonesome Dove and mount a cattle drive to the wild and free Montana frontier. Their epic journey, filled with acton, heartache, and humor is a grand and glorious adventure that readers will long rememberLeaving Cheyenne: Cattleman's son Gideon Fry and his cowboy buddy Johnny McCloud vie for the attention and affection of Miss Molly Taylor in this poignant story of a lifelong love triangle played out on the arid Texas plains. But Molly is a free spirit with her own ideas -- ideas that neither Johnny nor Gideon understandThe last picture show: Their awakening sexuality dominates the thoughts and actions of Sonny, Duane, and Jacy, teenagers coming of age in a dying Texas town where the movie house is their only connection with the outside world. By turns moving, sad, and funny, this gritty, unflinching work -- the basis for the acclaimed movie of the same name -- is a powerful, contemporary classic
