Buck (spectru) Dead Man's Walk "Dead Man's Walk is the first, extraordinary book in the epic Lonesome Dove tetralogy..." Good Reads has it listed as Lonesome Dove #3

Comanche Moon "The second book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy, Comache Moon..." (Comanche is misspelled) Goodreads lists it as Lonesome Dove #4

Lonesome Dove "...Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning classic Lonesome Dove, the third book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy..." Goodreads lists it as #1

Streets of Laredo "The final book of Larry McMurtry's Lonesome Dove tetralogy..." Goodreads has it listed as Lonesome Dove #2

My wife gave these books to me and I'm not sure of the order in which to read them. I think Goodreads listing of the series, Lonesome Dove #1, #2, #3, and #4, is incorrect.

See the wikipedia entry for this series here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonesome...

The order here on Goodreads is the order in which they were published. Although you are correct that the chronological order of the books' events are different, I hesitate to change the series order on GR without explicit guidance from the author.

Buck (spectru) Understood


Elizabeth (Alaska) You could create a second series for the order in Post #1 and link the two series in the description to show each. I did that with the 20-volume Zola series.
