About this listen

 The first prequel in Larry McMurtry’s beloved Lonesome Dove series features the early adventures of Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call, two of the most memorable heroes in contemporary fiction.

As young Texas Rangers, Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call ("Gus" and "Call" for short) have much to learn about survival in a land fraught with perils: not only the blazing heat and raging tornadoes, roiling rivers and merciless Indians, but also the deadly whims of soldiers. On their first expeditions—led by incompetent officers and accompanied by the robust, dauntless whore known as the Great Western—they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. They will be astonished by the Mexican army. And Gus will meet the love of his life.©2000 Larry McMurtry; (P)2000 Simon & Schuster Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Latin America Mexico Adventure

Larry McMurtry is an absolute legend of a writer. you are never bored reading his books. You feel as if you know his characters. You feel their emotions. You are almost there with them. The Lonesome Dove series is one of my favourites of all time and will remain so. Definitely worth listening to.

the narration brought the story to life.
this western puts Lonesome Dove in great context, and is epic in its own right. Good characters believeable trials seems well researched with snippits of information that ground the story in its time.
