About Lonesome Dove
Lonesome Dove aired in February 1989 and turned a four-night CBS miniseries into something people still talk about over supper. Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones played two retired Texas Rangers who decide, on a whim and a restless itch, to drive a herd north to Montana. Larry McMurtry's novel won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986, and you can nearly taste the river grit in your coffee when Gus starts talking.
