Description

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the final book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy—an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism, Streets of Laredo is classic Texas and Western literature at its finest.

Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena—once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

    Good Yarn. Character Cast overdone and scattered a bit. Still, a fitting picture of the Passing of the Old West of the Pecos. Thanks Larry!

    No where near as good a story as Lonesome Dove.

    This last book in the series continues the stories of the Texas Rangers and those in their worlds. Each story touches against another, in so many subtle moods. The writing seems to flow easily from the pages, I am only sorry that I have finished the series and can not look forward to discovering new adventures.

    WOW. I cannot give a review to one of the four books in this series; you need to gather them as a group and deal with them. If you have any interest at all in Americana and the capture of that spirit you simply must read these books. You won't always be comfortable with the the content as presented but if you have any drop of American blood in your veins you need to admit that this is our story!
