Lonesome Dove is a western television miniseries based on the novel of the same name by Larry McMurty that originally aired on the CBS network in 1989. The series revolves around two well known former Texas Rangers, Captain Augustus McCrae (Robert Duvall) and Captain Woodrow F. Call (Tommy Lee Jones) running the Hat Creek Cattle Company and Livery Emporium in the town of Lonesome Dove. McCrae is a well known womanizer but has also been in love with Clara (Anjelica Houston) for many years. McCrae has often proposed marriage to Clara, but she always rejects him. Clara is also jealous of the time Call has spent with McCrae. Call, unlike McCrae, is a workaholic who has a son named Newt (Rick Schroder) born from a prostitute named Maggie whom Call loved. Call refuses to accept Newt as his son, but Newt works with Call and McCrae trading horses. Also working with Call and McCrae is a man by the name of Joshua Deets (Danny Glover) who is a former partner of theirs from their Ranger days. One day another former partner named Jake Spoon (Robert Urich) arrives in Lonesome Dove on the run from the law. Spoon speaks of settling in Montana and Call is drawn to it. McCrae is not so sure until the promise of meeting up with Clara once again is presented. Call and McCrae gather a crew of nearly all the men in Lonesome Dove to set off for Montana.MORE
