Alexis Rawlins (arawlins) | 2 comments Hi! I wasn't sure, but I thought that Lonesome Dove was the first book in the Lonesome Dove series. It says in the description that it is the third one, and I think that's wrong. I wanted to double check before changing it since I'm new to librarianism and haven't changed anything before!

Empress (the_empress) It is publication order VS chronological order of the books:
You ucan add this to the description.

In order of publication

Lonesome Dove (1985)
Streets of Laredo (1993)
Dead Man's Walk (1995)
Comanche Moon (1997)




In order of internal chronology

Dead Man's Walk – set in the early 1840s
Comanche Moon – set in the 1850–60s
Lonesome Dove – set in mid-to-late 1870s
Streets of Laredo – set in the early 1890s

Edit: Although some librarians will probably argue, other librarians create TWO series - publication order and chronological. But for series of 4 books I think adding it to the description should be enough.
