Ep 119 The Trail Drivers’ Bible: “It ain’t dying I’m Talkin’ ‘bout. It’s living.”
Today, we’re reading the words of Charles Goodnight and W.J. Wilson, as excerpted from “The Trail Drivers of Texas,” by the University of Texas Press. You may know these men better as Captain Call (played by Tommy Lee Jones) and Pea Eye (aka Timothy Scott).
Lonesome Dove meets “The Trail Drivers Bible,” in the hope that it inspires you to quest for more from The University of Texas Press, and all that history has to offer.
