Lonesome Dove

This book by Larry McMurtry came up once on Joe Rogan in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Joe Rogan. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurtry, the author of Terms of Endearment, is his long-awaited masterpiece, the major noel at last of the American West as it really was. 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--in a novel that recreates the Central American experience, the most enduring of our national myths. Set in the late nineteenth century. Lonesome Dove is the story of a cattle drive from Texas to Montana -- and much more.
