Publisher Description

Every line is poetry down and dirty in the mud, right where it belongs.

A stunning literary debut, Horseman, Pass By (1961) exhibits the full-blooded Western genius that would come to define McMurtry's incomparable sensibility.

In the dusty north Texas town of Thalia, young Lonnie Bannon quietly endures the pangs of maturity as a persistent rivalry between his grandfather and step-uncle, Hud, festers, and a deadly disease spreads among their cattle like wildfire.
