Watched Lonesome Dove again this weekend and had to wonder in the end if Captin Woodrow Call regretted setting out on that cattle drive as he walked the lonely streets of Lonesome Dove at the end of the movie. That decision lost him his two best friends, as well as other good men.
Would they have been better off in that south Texas desert without every thinking about Montana? What if Jake Spoon had never accidently shot that man in Arkansas then had to run off, eventually finding his way back to Lonesome Dove where he put the though of a Montana cattle ranch into Call's head. Then Gus and Deets would still be alive and at his side for years to come.
Do you think he regretted it? I would have, but I am not as hard a man as he is.
