This is the prequel to Lonesome Dove beginning when Call and Gus are young Texas Rangers.

I love Larry McMurtry's westerns; they have a way of enveloping you until you are no longer reading a book but find yourself along for the ride in the wild west. McMurtry's writing and imagery is so great that the reader can almost hear the crackling of the campfire and feel the character's fear...a great author, a great story.
