Couldn’t Agree More

Lonesome Dove- excellent book & movie. I’ve read the book as many times and the movie is one of my favorites. I grew up on a horse ranch & we would put the movie on in the ranch bunkhouse during winter time. When we’d go in to warm up, it would be playing. I grew up around cowboys & ranching- it’s a tough life still. The movie & book capture this reality.
