Boone's Lick : a novel

Book 2000

"Boone's Lick" is a major novel in the rich tradition of "Lonesome Dove" and "Comanche Moon" about the opening up of the American West. The first novel in a new series, it is the story of a trek by riverboat and wagon from Boone's Lick, Missouri, to Fort Phil Kearny in Wyoming, and proves to be one of McMurtry's richest and most satisfying works.
