Lonesome Dove - The Series

Product Description

21 Episodes. Featuring characters from the original miniseries, Lonesome Dove: The Series revolves around the life and times of Newt Call, the young cowhand who started out as a boy in Lonesome Dove, and now goes on to make his way in the world. The post-Civil War years in the American West are among the most exciting this country has ever known. Peopled with now-mythic figures like Wyatt Earp and Bat Masterson, Billy the Kid and Sitting Bull, these were the golden years of the American West before the twentieth century roared in to tame the frontier once and for all. For Newt Call, the fresh-faced cowboy who was brought up with ironclad discipline by the legendary ex-Texas Ranger Captain Woodrow F. Call, this was a world which held great promise. Tangling with outlaws and bandits, revolutionaries, showmen and spirited Western women, Newt participates in all the major events of the Western era. Encountering its legendary figures and witnessing their passage into mythology, young Newt forges his destiny and begins to create a legend of his own.
