An epic of the frontier, Lonesome Dove is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness.

“My favorite book: there are so many that I would be afraid to say. Probably if I had to pick anything I’d say Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.” —Stephen King

“If I had to recommend one Great American Novel, Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove would be high on my list. It’s got everything I love as a reader: unforgettable characters, a huge sense of adventure, humor, heartbreak, and a story that never lets go of you.” —James Patterson

Journey to the dusty little town of Lonesome Dove, where retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call undertake a perilous cattle drive to the untamed plains of Montana. Along the way, they face danger, adventure, and an unforgettable cast of characters. Richly authentic and beautifully written, Lonesome Dove is a story of love, loss, and the unyielding spirit of the American West.
