Publisher Description

From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author Larry McMurtry comes the sequel and final book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy. An exhilarating tale of legend and heroism, Streets of Laredo is classic Texas and Western literature at its finest.

Captain Woodrow Call, August McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena—once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. This long chase leads them across the last wild streches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town and, finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.

"A well written and somewhat sad continuation to Lonesome Dove, especially after I learned about McMurtry's life while he was writing it. "

    " Just don't buy Lorena character: It's too different from Lonesome Dove. The villains are the best part of this book. Lonesome Dove is the best of the series by far. "

    " He writes a good western (I read and loved Lonesome Dove probably 20 years ago) but this was disappointing. It was way too long, unoriginal-- seemed like a combination rewrite of his other books with one gruesome massacre or tedious gunfight after another, and not at all uplifting. "

    " I reckon if you're gonna chase an unconscionable killer deep into the heart of Mexico, don't fall for the old hobbled horse trick. "

    " Good, but I think I liked Lonesome Dove better. It was nice to revisit some of the characters though. "

    " a good follow up to Lonesome Dove, a brutal depiction of life in the wild west "

    " If I hadn't read Lonesome Dove beforehand, I'd have given 4 stars. First half seemed to meander a bit, but last half had some genuinely gripping scenes. It's hard to think about this book without comparing it to Lonesome Dove, and with that comparison, it's hard for any book to measure up. "

    " This was book #4 in the Lonesome Dove series and my least favorite. It was a downer all the way through. It did however get me in the mood to see the new Matt Damon movie "True Grit"! "

    " Took me a while to read this one. Maybe because I just finished Lonesome Dove, which was outstanding. This one was hard to get into, and I was disappointed in the way McMurtry wrote off some key characters from LD. The last 30 pages were the redeeming quality of this novel. "
