About this title

"News Week"
Splendid...one of the most affectingly melancholy books.
"Los Angeles Times"
One of McMurtry's most powerful and moving achievements.
"Chicago Tribune"
A marvelous novel in its own right and in every way a worthy successor to "Lonesome Dove."

Gorgeous...violent, funny, achingly sad, filled with heroism
and regret....If you can put "Streets of Laredo" down, I'll eat my ten-gallon hat.
