Lonesome Dove: A Death Among Friends

#lonesomedove #gusmccrae #lonesomedove1989
In the Emmy Award-winning miniseries Lonesome Dove, the character of Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) and his careless lifestyle catch up with him as Woodrow Call (Tommy Lee Jones) and Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) have to track their old friend and one time Texas Ranger companion down and make a fatal decision.
“Hell, don’t worry about it, boys,” Jake said. “I’d a damn sight rather be hung by my friends than by a bunch of strangers. The thing is, I never meant no harm,” he added. “I didn’t know they was such a gun outfit.” He looked down at Pea Eye and Deets, and at Newt. Everyone was silent, even Gus, who held the coiled rope. They were all looking at him, but it seemed no one could speak. For a moment, Jake felt good. He was back with his old compañeros, at least-those boys who had haunted his dreams. Straying off from them had been his worst mistake.

Lonesome Dove is a 1985 Western novel by American writer Larry McMurtry. It is the first published book of the Lonesome Dove series and the third installment in the series chronologically. It was a bestseller and won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In 1989, it was adapted as a TV miniseries starring Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall, which won both critical and popular acclaim. McMurtry went on to write a sequel, Streets of Laredo (1993), and two prequels, Dead Man's Walk (1995) and Comanche Moon (1997), all of which were also adapted as TV series. This six-hour miniseries, based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry, revitalized both the miniseries and Western genres, both of which had been considered dead for several years. Lonesome Dove earned 18 Emmy nominations and inspired a pair of miniseries sequels as well as two attempts at an ongoing television series.
