Item Number: 2490

New York: Simon & Schuster, 1985.

First edition of the author’s Pulitzer-Prize winning novel. Octavo, original half cloth. Some light foxing to the top edges, else near fine in a fine dust jacket. Inscribed by McMurtry on the title page.

A love story, an adventure, an American epic, Lonesome Dove embraces all the West- legend and fact, heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers. Set in the nineteenth century, it is the story of a cattle drive from Texas to Montana and much more. It is a drive that represents for everybody involved not only a daring, even a foolhardy adventure, but a part of the American Dream- the attempt to carve out the last remaining wilderness a new life. "Everything about Lonesome Dove feels true . . . These are real people, and they are still larger than life." (Nicholas Lemann, The New York Times Book Review) A very sharp copy.
