I enjoyed reading the stories of the west

Marvelous old west, pre-Lonesome Dove story. All about Call and Gus in their early years as Rangers. Great yarns and plots and adventures. Five stars all the way.

I read Lonesome Dove first, and thoroughly enjoyed every page of it. After finding out Lonesome Dove was part of a larger series, I decided to give this a read. I found it to be just as well-written and entertaining as the first. I will continue on to read the rest of the series.

Like the plot, is a long, bleak march. If you are a LD fan, you do get to see Call and Gus in their early years, but a lot of the descriptions don’t seem to jibe with what they have become in LD. Worth the read, I guess, if you can borrow from local library.

Old friends Gus and Woodrow get introduced in style.....

Larry McMurtry is a wonderful and gifted writer, and Dead Man's Walk is a thrilling prequel to Lonesome Dove. Lonesome Dove is, of course, a masterpiece, and Dead Man's Walk is a great book to read for those of you who, like me, were sorry to finish Lonesome Dove.
