It's a fantastic book, and well-deserving of the Pulitzer Prize. I enjoyed the two prequels, but they weren't quite as good, an opinion I hold of this book as well. It was an interesting story and had McMurtry's usual high quality of writing. I think the characterization, and perhaps sequence of events, was what left me a little dissatisfied. The facts that the ranch in Montana failed within a couple years and Newt died shortly after the end of LD, and well before the start of Streets of Laredo made me sad. It's not that I don't believe they could have happened within the framework of the story, but after the epic quality of LD, to call those event anti-climatic would be a severe understatement. Also, I thought everyone was going to die by the end of this book, which didn't quite happen, but there was a lot of violence.

I've been thinking about this a lot since I finished reading it and it's hard to pinpoint why it's left me so unsettled. I don't enjoy violence, but I understand it's a necessary part of westerns. I think that the absence of Gus really made Streets of Laredo lack the humorous quality in the previous books. It seemed that most of the characters in this book were depressed/unhappy/regretful. I think Call especially broke my heart. I adore Call, even though I can't really identify with his extreme reserve and lack of relationships. I especially think it awful how he is so hated by women (notably Clara and Lorena) because of the men that give their loyalty to him (notably Gus and Pea Eye). I thought Clara was out of line in LD when she told him she despised him for taking Gus's body back to Texas. At least Lorena overcame her dislike of Call (which was fairly justified on her part) and I really liked the bond that formed between them when she saved his life and nursed him back to health. They will never be close, but I think they have a better understanding of each other, on a different (and perhaps) deeper level than Pea Eye understands either of them (bless his simple mind). My last comment about Call is that I was so incredibly glad that he and Teresa developed a (grand)father/daughter relationship at the end. My heart was broken for Call and the only thing that kept me from utter despair for him was Teresa. I kind of liked that it was open-ended about whether or not she went off to a school for the blind. Either way I imagine things happening, I'm satisfied.

So now that I've written about Call, I can't chalk my disturbed feelings about the book to his character. What really upset me were the villains. They were not Robin Hood-type outlaws; there were sociopaths. It would have been bad enough to have Joey, who thought his mother (who had endured hardships unimaginable) was a whore, put no value on human life and killed whenever he felt like it, and wanted to murder his brother and sister so his mother could essentially be a slave to him. On top of that I had to read about Mox Mox, a less methodical, but probably more insane, killer than Joey. The two of them made John Wesley Hardin (a real killer of the Old West, and ancillary character in this book) look like a relatively okay guy. EEK! Anyway, I guess the bottom line was that the violence was just so senseless (not that I know what violence would be sensible) and I had trouble with that. There were a number of characters introduced in this book, who were decent people and seemed only to serve as fodder for the vicious killers. What's confusing me is that there was senseless violence and death in LD, but I can't recall it upsetting me as much as this book.

I guess the bottom line (which means I'll stop babbling now!) is that I liked this book and I was glad to know what became of my beloved characters, but I'm not sure I'd like to reread it as I would Lonesome Dove.(less)

As much as I enjoyed Lonesome Dove, that's how much I disliked Streets of Laredo. Larry McMurtry spent much of the earlier book demolishing the squeaky-clean John Wayne image of the Old West by showing it as realm of rape, sexual slavery, meaningless violence and random death, but he also showed the grandeur and beauty that drew men like Augustus McCrae. Gus is sorely missed in this novel, in which McMurtry seems perversely committed to focusing on the least interesting characters and reworking...more

I started with Comanche Moon then Lonesome Dove, now Streets of Laredo. I knew it was the last book but I didn't want to end the series there, so will read Dead Man's Walk last because it is the beginning of Woodrow and Gus.
Of course, McMurtry is the best at putting life in prespective. What has struck me through the series is that not much, if anything, has changed through time. People still lie, cheat, steal, make unusual friendships, are unfathomly selfish, unconscious of their own and other...more

The sequel to that famous cowboy book Lonesome Dove, this was a perfect subject matter for my roadtrip b/c even though I wasn't in Texas, I did ride through a lot of cow country. It was an OK book but a little disappointing for a few reasons. First of all, why did Newt die in the mysterious space between the last book and this book? I was so happy he didn't die in the last one, so I felt especially cheated by this. Second, the book seems kind of empty without Gus and I missed his endearingly fun...more

Streets of Laredo is the final book in the "Lonesome Dove" series. Although it features familiar characters from the previous books, it feels like a differnt type of story because Call is so much older and without his only friend Augustus McCrae.

The story focuses on Woodrow Call and Pea Eye Parker and their pursuit of a young, deadly train robber named Joey Garza. Although Gus dies in the previous book, he still lives on in the memories of those who loved him, and there are numerous flashbacks...more

A fitting follow-up to Lonesome Dove, although this book is a bit sadder and much more reflective. Call, no longer aocompanied by the loquacious Gus (one of the most popular characters in all of fiction, or so I've been told) is aging and spends a good bit of time reflecting on his life, his fading abilities, and the meaning of it all. He and his men are on the run for a killer and there is plenty of action and adventure. But I enjoyed the thoughtful parts also---I enjoyed simply knowing a novel...more

This novel was brilliant and, in some ways, superior to the original - something I did not think possible. This novel chronicles Captain Call's last job as a ranger approximately fifteen years after the end of Lonesome Dove. He is much older here and at what the characters believe is the end of his career, the end of his greatness, the end of his days as a ranger and a killer and therefore the end of his identity. His legend as a Texas Ranger precedes him everywhere he goes in his mission to stop the unrelenting, remorseless bandit, Joey Garza. Unlike Lonesome Dove, which focuses solely on the white experiences of the west, Streets of Laredo examines all perspectives: Mexican, Native American, men, women, children - it's all here. I felt unable to judge the characters because I was able to understand them so well, even the villains. McMurtry employs Freudian psychology to illustrate Joey's motives and provides a thorough history of all the characters.

This novel raises so many questions about aging, life and death, murder, reputation, race and racism, feminism, and many other concepts. There are also many thoughtful passages about the passing of not only "the west" as a mythic, unexplored landscape, but also simply the loss of familiarity that is inherent to aging. I found this passage particularly moving:

But Ben Lily was one of the old ones of the West. Ben Lily and Goodnight and Roy Bean and a few others. None of them were particularly likable, although Charles Goodnight had become friendlier than Call had ever expected him to be. But all of them, and those like them who had fallen - Gus McCrae and old Kit Carson, the Bent Brothers, Shanghai Pierce and Captain Marcy - had been part of the adventure. Gus McCrae had declared the adventure over before the Hat Creek outfit had ever crossed the Yellowstone. A few days after he said it, he had gone off adventuring and been killed. Gus had been both right and wrong. The exploring part of the adventure had ended, but not the settling part, and settling, in the time of the Comanche and the Cheyenne and the Apache, had plenty of adventure in it.

Now, the settling had happened. Ben Lily and Goodnight and Roy Bean and, he supposed, himself - for he, too, had become one of the old ones of the West - were just echoes of what had been. When Lily fell, and Goodnight, and Bean and himself, there wouldn't even be echoes, just memories.

This feeling of becoming part of the old generation and losing one's relevance is so central to this novel, even more so here than in the original, and this passage just nails one of the main points of the story. I came to feel so much pity for Call, particularly in his brave acceptance of losing his leg and arm and, in a way, his identity. I was also very moved by his attachment to Tessie, who was a wonderful character. While it would have been nice to read about Call becoming a father to Newt, this outcome makes more sense and falls more in line with Call's character: he is unable to accept any kind of paternity until he loses his identity as a killer for the government, allowing him to experience his humanity and thawing emotions he either denied or suppressed throughout his adulthood. I found this relationship very touching and felt my eyes tear up in a few places.

Call is not the only character to receive such intricate characterization, though. As I already stated, McMurtry examines every character's psychology and history. I enjoyed reading about Maria's life experiences and learning more about Lorena and Pea Eye. Joey's fixation on his mother was chilling to read about, as was the crimes committed against Maria by men of all races and class backgrounds, white, Mexican, Native American, rich, poor, etc. What this novel depicts so deftly is how there really are no "good guys" in this world; everyone with power exhibits some corruption, some evil, because of the nature of power itself. There is little distinction between the white men representing the US government and the Mexican killer, Joey. I found this especially compelling and very true.

In short, this novel was excellent and one that any self-respected Lonesome Dove fan should give a chance. (less)

The writing wasn't quite as polished. All the things I liked about the first book were shot down at the beginning of this one, making for an anti-climatic beginning. Call is now an old man, now hired to hunt down a train-robbing killer. (Spoiler alerts) I was disappointed to learn that everything in Montana had fizzled out after all that effort in the first book, that Newt was killed in Montana before Call owned up he was his father, and that July had drowned (as annoyingly unassertive as he was). I was delighted that Pea Eye was married to Lorena-- that was a nice surprise. I guess the author thought he had to top his last villains (Blue Duck & Suggs) because he came up with a couple of really bad ones (Joey Garcia, and the child-burning Moxmox). The author continued his themes from the last book of "women are sex objects" and "women want their men to stay at home." Women are repeatedly screwed over in this author's books. One dies waiting for her husband to come home, another is raped by the sheriff and then commits suicide while her inexperienced deputy husband is off helping Call hunt the killers. I liked the character Maria, but never could understand why her son hated her for being a "whore" (she wasn't a whore, but he blamed her for men being attracted to her, though she did nothing to try to attract them... so once again, women get blamed in this book for men's lust). If you're looking for the god-fearing, moral side of the Old West, you won't find it in this series. I recommend Laura Ingalls Wilder and Janette Oke as a more wholesome alternative. Even still, based on the strength of my interest in the characters from the first book, I am interested in knowing what happens to them, enough to go on to the next book. Book #3 (Dead Man's Walk) takes us back to when Call and Gus are young and green, before they became legendary Texas rangers. I'm still hoping women will be treated decently, and that the villains don't keep getting worse in the rest of the series.(less)

The Streets of Laredo is a very eventful book with many main characters. So I will list the top five, Captain Woodrow Call, Pea Eye Parker, Lorena Parker, Joey Garza and Maria Garza. This book is pretty long for some people, over 500 pages all filled with words that some people might not know. But if you can read it and understand it can be a wonderful book.

I have a real problem with writing about historical figures and fictionalizing their lives or, in the case of Judge Roy Bean, his death. He was NOT murdered. He died of natural causes in 1903. At that point the book lost all sense of credibility for me.

Hard to separate this novel from the three that have come before. Streets paints an illuminating portrait of the Old West and the men that tried to settle there. What I think is most interesting is not the men who battled their courage, the Indians, and the elements - but the women. McMurtry's take on male machismo in actuality puts a klieg light on the deprivations and degradations that the women faced in a society bent on making them brood mares at best.

Captain Woodrow Call, bounty hunter extraordinaire, is hired by Colonel Terry, the president of a railroad, to capture train robber and serial killer, Joey Garza.

I normally wouldn't read a Western novel unless its written by Larry McMurtry. I will read anything he writes. I first read McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" and got hooked. When I read LD I didn't want it to end. I wanted to know more about the characters I had come to love. I thought Streets of Laredo would have the same feel as LD but it didn't. Good writing by McMurtry as always, but I wanted more. What "Streets" did do for me was finally give me closure to my longing for my LD characters.

This is epic stuff from Larry McMurtry but anyone expecting a sepia-toned account of the Wild West: Be forwarned! There isn't an ounce of sentimentality or humor here. Children being face-whipped with blackjacks & violent death at every turn. No one is immune to the sudden (& lurid) fate that awaits. Honestly, it's a wonder that anyone ever made it as far as California given the lawlessness that prevailed. That said, you'll be transfixed by McMurtry's talent.

However, the magic that was Gus and Woodrow is not present, because Gus died in Lonesome Dove. They were the formula that prevented a reader from putting Lonesome Dove down until they were finished. THat is a hard act to follow...

In fact I've been told that reading the books in order is like watching Star Wars in order; painful and ruins the good in the series.

Quotes from Streets Of Laredo

“Call listened with amusement--not that the incident hadn't been terrible. Being decapitated was a grisly fate, whether you were a Yankee or not. But then, amusing things happened in battle, as they did in the rest of life. Some of the funniest things he had ever witnessed had occurred during battles. He had always found it more satisfying to laugh on a battlefield than anywhere else, for if you lived to laugh on a battlefield, you could feel you had earned the laugh. But if you just laughed in a saloon, or at a social, the laugh didn't reach deep.” — 6 people liked it

“This is a damn useless conversation. Goodbye. (Charles Goodnight to Woodrow Call)” — 3 people liked it
