The True Account
Ti Kinneson, growing up in Vermont, idolizes his Uncle True and his Western exploits, and when True heads for the frontier again in an attempt to reach the Pacific Ocean, Ti tags along--and, a few years ahead of Lewis and Clark, they actually get there. En route, Ti discovers his skill as an artist.

Two former Texas Rangers, Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae, drive cattle from Texas to Montana with a crew of oddballs, misfits, and true heroes. With its roots firmly sunk in classic trail-drive lore, this novel nevertheless transcends the Western genre. Commenting on the book`s phenomenal success, McMurtry said,
LONESOME DOVE was a critical book. But that`s not how it was perceived. The romance of the West is so powerful, you can`t really swim against the current. Whatever truth about the West is printed, the legend is always more potent.
In 1987 the novel was adapted as a successful TV miniseries.
