Gus, a vice-ridden Ranger-savant, and Call, a hardheaded, dutiful loner, serve as our wonderfully flawed guides as we follow the Rangers from their youthful beginnings through the end of their adventurous careers. McMurtry’s Western novels take readers through the second half of the nineteenth century, focusing on a group of endearing Texas Rangers steered by two of the most unforgettable heroes of contemporary fiction: Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call. Yet few have captured the American West in literature better than the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry, creator of the famed Lonesome Dove tetralogy. Countless tales, portrayed in nearly every medium, have compelled audiences with depictions of the frontier in all its wonderful grit and glory. American culture has always been fascinated by the Western landscape.
