McMurtry is a flaming liberal leftist Democrat. When he wrote Lonesome Dove he wrote of what he saw, not believed. Archer City and Wichita County may be a small Texas area but Republican it is not. Wichita County, for the most part, are closet liberals and leftists and McMurtry is just one of them.

Read In a Narrow Grave if you want a hint as to what McMurtry believes. The guy has a genuine love of the west and western mythology dating back to his book, Horseman, Pass by (the movie was called Hud) and Last Picture Show.

I am sorry to hear that, I absolutely loved Lonesome Dove, I carried the book around with me for months, not to read it just to hold it. Pretty weird when I think about it now
