Reminder: Part III of Lonesome Dove will be held at the Perrot Library, Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 7pm.

We have journeyed from the dusty little Texas town of Lonesome Dove and meet an unforgettable assortment of heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Native Americans, and settlers. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember.

Registration is required. To register, click here.

You may reserve a copy of the book through the Perrot Library catalog or purchase a copy from Athena Books. Or bring your copy from your home bookshelf!
