DEAD MAN'S WALK: A NOVEL

Dead Man’s Walk introduces Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call as they first come to know the wild frontier as young Texas rangers. Awash in peril, with danger around every cactus, these rugged young heroes learn to survive the blazing heat, roiling rivers, and raging tornadoes of this wild country while confronted with merciless Indians and the deadly whims of soldiers. Led by incompetent officers, they embark on their first expeditions, where they will face death at the hands of the cunning Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump and the silent Apache Gomez. Do they have what it takes to survive?

A thrilling first installment of the epic Lonesome Dove tetralogy, Larry McMurty spins a stunning depiction of the vanished American West. Prequel to the Pulitzer Prize-winning Lonesome Dove, Dead Man’s Walk brings strife, heroism, and romance to the dusty, torrid plains of the United States.
