In Comanche Moon, Larry McMurtry has a deep sense of his characters and what they might do at any given moment. This often leads to scenes that ring true for the characters, but don't advance the narrative, or, indeed, subvert the narrative drive. This sprawling novel is not one of plot. It is one of detail, and character-driven meandering.

This often leads to scenes that ring true for the characters, but don't advance the narrative, or, indeed, subvert the narrative drive. This sprawling novel is not one of plot. It is one of detail, and character-driven meandering.

I like meandering, when it's done well. And this is. Even though I did get a little annoyed once or twice when there was a scene that did nothing to advance the narrative thrown in there to show why one character would make a completely left-field decision that would have no impact on the later story. Not too irritated, but a little. He made it work, is all I can say.

Of course, to write a novel about a sprawling cast of characters, and letting them lead the way, you have to have good characters. And he does. Focusing on the Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Cull, this book also weaves around McCrae's lost love, Cull's ignored woman, other rangers, the former leader of their Ranger troop, Inish Scull, Comanche warriors who are being pushed off their land, a Kickapoo scout for the Rangers, and a Mexican bandit and slavekeeper who captures Scull.

Each follows their own agendas, and they are frequently surprising and unexpected, but always consistent with what we know. It takes place over huge swathes of time.

(Side note: I was somewhat surprised to see that this book was dedicated to Susan Sontag - on research, it seems she was a good friend of McMurtry's.)

None of the characters are cardboard, all have their own desires, and with all good novels, those frequently conflict. The women are well drawn and interesting. I don't have the knowledge to know whether or not Native readers would feel the same way about the Native characters, but they aren't caricatures, anyway. They are all complex and unique.

If you're looking for a novel with a driving narrative, this is not the one for you. But as a character-driven look at Texas as it changes, as more white settlers enter, as the Rangers weather the Civil War and find themselves increasingly irrelevant to a more settled society, it is very good.(less)

Gus and Call are a great pair with nuances of Oscar Madison and Felix Unger thrust into the role of Texas Rangers in the years of the 1840s to ‘60s. It’s their job to protect an increasingly white Texas from the bad guys, Comanches from the west or evildoers from Mexico in the south. This is chronologically the second of four books in the Lonesome Dove quartet, and it’s entertaining and well written, sometimes poignant and sometimes violent and sometimes a bit risqué.

This is a book about death – the contemplation of endings rather than beginnings. McMurtry, in this prequel to LONESOME DOVE, seizes the opportunity to present a historical context, rather than merely a backstory, to his Pulitzer Prize winning story of Woodrow Call and Augustus McCrae. He peoples it with a host of memorable characters: Capt. Inish Scull of the Austin Texas Rangers, the Kickapoo scout Famous Shoes, the sly and silent horse thief Kicking Wolf, the great Comanche war chief Buffalo Hump, and his vicious son Blue Duck. The story begins in the 1850's. It straddles a mere 2 decades – a generation that sees the extermination of the southern buffalo herds, the last struggle of the Comanche to push back the demarcation line of white settlers, the collapse of traditional culture after decimation from smallpox and cholera in the previous decade, and finally, the realization that a way of life has come to an end. As befitting its significance, McMurtry spreads his story across three books with multiple plot lines: Scull's pursuit of one final adventure seeking out the sadistic Ahumado; Buffalo Hump's final assault on white settlements; and Blue Duck's vengeful violence.

We look back on the period with mixed feelings today. The West is symbolic of American courage and self-reliance, but also of genocide on a massive scale. It's difficult to imagine what kinds of people sought lives on the frontier. It's difficult to imagine life in a warrior culture such as the Comanche, or a life so completely dependent on chance. McMurtry skillfully imbues his characters with the emotions and temperament consistent with the violence and haphazard outcomes of the period, but permits them to speak and think in unique voices. I particularly loved the musings of Famous Shoes. Guiding Call and McCrae in their pursuit of Blue Duck, he encounters an ominous white owl – not characteristic of that part of the country. “Famous Shoes realized then, when he heard Captain McCrae's casual and cheerful tone, that it was as he had always believed, which was that it was no use talking to white men about serious things.”(p.741). The real courage of these characters is to be found in the attitude of unflinching acceptance of reality. In Capt. Call that attitude solidifies in a stoicism so deep it enables his survival. By silencing his inner emotions, he is able to channel his senses to the most subtle signals of impending danger. In Buffalo Hump it is the understanding that the buffalo herds will never return. Even Maggie understands: “There was no changing men – not much, anyway; mainly men stayed the way they were, no matter what women did.” (p.241)

McMurtry mines his wealth of historical knowledge effectively. The prophet Worm reveals an unsettling dream to his traveling companion Buffalo Hump: Thousands of squealing horses – they are squealing because they are being killed. It is a premonition of a sombre event. In 1874 over a thousand Comanche horses were captured and slaughtered in the battle of Palo Duro Canyon at Ranald MacKenzie's command. His reasoning was that the Commanche would steal the horses back, so he had them killed. McMurtry is a disciplined writer. Despite the violence and sadness, he never lapses into sentimentality.

Most readers will approach this book after having read LONESOME DOVE. In contrast, it is a more sprawling narrative. Call and McCrae are part of an ensemble of interesting characters, and there is less narrative focus. The implicit comparison was always in the back of my mind. I missed that sense of forward momentum and wonder if anyone has approached this book without having read LONESOME DOVE first.

In general, while I fancy myself a serious student of western history and novels that describe that ilk, I have found the Lonesome Dove group far too graphic for my liking. I understand that the real west and the conflict that existed between white settlers and their Native American counterparts often resulted in tragic, even disturbing consequences. The problem I have with the LD novels is these activities are spelled out in such explicit, thorough and frankly disgusting detail. I found many of...more

Comanche Moon is the second book in the "Lonesome Dove" series, and it continues to provide the back story on the lives of Woodrow Call, Augustus McCrae, and several other major characters. I really enjoyed getting to know Call and Gus better, and to see the events that hardened them into the men that shined in the third, and in my opinion, the best book, Lonesome Dove.

I've read most of Larry Mcmurtry's novels over the years and they vary enormously in quality.

By far the best of the Lonesome Dove sequels, and, for the first 2/3rds, the most purely exciting McMurtry novel I've read. It's a very typical McMurtry book, too, circling in on many of those same themes and character types that pop up in much of his fiction and nonfiction: meaningless, unromantic sex in the arid desolation of Texas; the fundamental inability of many men and women to understand each other, despite each being inherently sensible; the closing, or taming, of the American West; Mag...more

I have to rate this book five stars because it is about Call and Gus, after all. I am in love with those guys. No one can write dialogue like McMurtry (well, except maybe Pat Conroy), and he doesn't disappoint yet again.

The last book in the Lonesome Dove saga is another prequel, but finishes the series gracefully enough. As with "Lonesome Dove's" other successors, more of the same can be seen in "Comanche Moon": characters from the first novel who seem to be more exaggerated than they were previously; progressively more violence and gore; nemeses that are bigger and badder than the novel before; abrupt ending. It seems like McMurtry tried to one-up himself one final time, and while this detracted from the story...more

I enjoyed this far more than Dead Man's Walk, but it misses the mark made by Lonesome Dove by a great deal. What could measure up to it, honestly?

The set-up seems to be the same: Indian nemesis, a supporting cast of eccentrics, and Gus and Woodrow trying to reach the last page alive. There's lots of blood, guts, and gore to wade through - funnily enough, I'm not into horror novels, but put the same violence porn into a historical context and I'm ok with it.

Once the mystery has been stripped away, Call's pretty much a dick, isn't he? Comanche Moon is the final book of the Lonesome Dove saga (Lonesome Dove itself being the book for which McMurtry won the Pulitzer), and I dare say that it's a touch self-indulgent, a bit of a reflection of the flame. But the flame of Lonesome Dove, and indeed of all of McMurtry's great epics, is just so brilliant that I can't begrudge him the vacation. Even when McMurtry is napping, he's still pretty damned good.

Comanche Moon is the last of the four book saga, but falls between books Dead Man’s Walk and Lonesome Dove. The story takes place around the Civil War and covers the time span of 20 years.
Comanche Moon interweaves characters from the other three books . . . Dead Man’s Walk, Lonesome Dove, and Streets of Loredo. The illustrious characters of Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae are in their middle years, still serving as respected Texas Rangers in which they become captains. The favorable characters of Josh Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker, begin their story as newly inexperienced Rangers. Long Bill Coleman continues as a seasoned ranger. Inish and Inez Scull are the peculiar ranger captain and promiscuous wealthy wife. Famous Shoes shows up as the Kickapoo tracker of the Ranger troops. Charlie Goodnight is still the famous rancher. Clara Forsythe begins as McCrae’s beloved, but ends up marrying Bob Allen, the horse trader. Maggie Tilton, the reluctant whore, still loves Call, but becomes frustrated when he is unwilling to claim their son, Newt, as his, so she get a job at the general store and begins to see Jake Spoon. Captain King, an ex-Texan Ranger, is introduced as a successful rancher at Lonesome Dove. Buffalo Hump’s reign as a fierce Comanche chief and raider continues and ends. Kicking Wolf, a well-known Comanche horse thief, steals Hector, Captain Scull’s famous horse. Ahumado is a notorious Mexican bandit feared for the horrible tortures that he inflicts on his victims. Blue Duck, Buffalo Hump’s son, begins his bloody reign as a renegade and desires to kill his father.
I found this book to be close to the same quality as its best-selling and Pulitzer-Prized sequel, Lonesome Dove. The only problem is that there are a few inconsistencies in continuity in the story and between this book and Lonesome Dove. It is also not 100 % historically correct. However, these books show that western fictions can be a well written and greatly enjoyed genre. It is full of rich, fascinating characters, depth of plot, and rugged realism. Each character is richly developed and true to their core. They seem to be driven by their obsessions. I really enjoyed the familiarity of the characters. The writing is gritty, but interwoven with humor. However, my advice to fellow readers is to read the books in the order of publication rather than the chronological order.

Quotes from Comanche Moon

“Buffalo Hump knew his son was brave, but that was not enough. If a warrior lacked wisdom, courage alone would not keep him alive for long.” — 3 people liked it

“The thing that Buffalo Hump was most grateful for, as he rode into the emptiness, was the knowledge that in the years of his youth and manhood he had drawn the lifeblood of so many enemies. He had been a great killer; it was his way and the way of his people; no one in his tribe had killed so often and so well. The killings were good to remember, as he rode his old horse deeper into the llano, away from all the places where people came.” — 1 person liked it
