Editor’s note Texan novelist and screenwriter who also won an Oscar for Brokeback Mountain. Lonesome Dove, his Pulitzer Prize-winning epic of two retired Texas Rangers, the talkative Gus McCrae and the stern Woodrow Call, driving a herd of cattle from the Rio Grande to Montana, is one of the very highest rated books on this site. He later added a sequel and two prequels, all strong, but start with Lonesome Dove, the book they all lean on.
