Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry’s epic novel of two aging Texas Rangers who drive a herd of
stolen cattle 2,500 miles from the Rio Grande to Montana to found the first ranch there, captured
the public imagination and has never let it go.

The Lonesome Dove miniseries, which first aired on CBS in 1989, lassoed an even wider audience.

Capturing the sweeping visual imagery of the original miniseries, the Lonesome Dove exhibition
presents fifty-fived framed classic images taken during filming by Bill Wittliff, renowned
photographer, writer, and executive producer (with Suzanne De Passe) of Lonesome Dove.

The images, however, are worlds apart from ordinary production stills, depicting an extraordinary
union of art, literature, and history.
