Dead Man's Walk

Prequel to 'Lonesome Dove' and the first adventures of Gus and Call, the heroes of 'Lonesome Dove'.

Larry McMurtry takes us back to the days when Woodrow Call and his friend Gus McCrae were young rangers, first confronting the wild Frontier that became their lives.

Call and McCrae face the wilderness of the Frontier and the men who live there - the Indians, savagely defending the land, the Texans, attempting to seize and 'civilise' it, the Mexicans, threatened by both. Danger, hardship, sacrifice, pain and fear test them to the limits of endurance; friendship, comradeship, courage and love give them the strength to survive against fearful odds.
