I, too, have read that book repeatedly. And I agree with your synopsis. I have also read all of the other cowboy fiction Larry McMurtry has written, all because I loved Lonesome Dove so much. The bit about Jake broke my heart though. And I still laugh thinking about Call shooting at Blue Duck while seeing a man about a horse.

The Jake Spoon scene breaks my heart, too. I assume we're talking about the same scene.

Call shooting at Blue Duck, though, is one of the other books. Haven't got there yet.

I mean when Jake spurs his horse on....
