What are some of the best Cowboys & Indians / western books you’ve read?
Just got done reading the “Lonesome Dove” series and I am utterly captivated. Interested to hear what you all think are some books of similar caliber and in the same genre?
Very hard to top Lonesome Dove but many books match or come close. My top suggestions would be:
1. The Son
2. Cold Mountain
3. El Paso
4. The sisters brothers
5. Bury my heart at wounded Knee (non ficition but great)
Geetright on
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, it’s brutal and wonderful, very different from Lonesome Dove but may scratch that itch
