Larry McMurtry returns to the vivid and unsparing portrait of the 19-century cowboy lifestyle made memorable in Lonesome Dove to tell the story of the closing of the American frontier through the travails of two of its most immortal figures: Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. In stark and peerless prose, McMurtry traces their rich and varied friendship from its beginning in the town of Long Grass to its infamous culmination in Tombstone, Arizona.
