This Pulitzer Prize-winning epic follows retired Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call as they embark on one last great adventure—driving a herd of cattle from Texas to Montana. McMurtry crafts a sweeping tale of friendship, love, loss, and the dying days of the American frontier with unforgettable characters and masterful storytelling. A monumental work that redefined the Western genre and stands as one of the greatest American novels.

Why We Picked It: Because McMurtry didn't just write a Western—he wrote the Western. This is storytelling at its finest, with characters so vivid they feel like old friends and a narrative scope that captures the vastness and complexity of the American experience.
