Hating his father, Blue Duck follows him as he goes off to die. With two others, he kills an enfeebled, blind, starving, and dehydrated Buffalo Hump, mutilates the body, then runs away from approaching rangers.
Don't you just love that line: “I don’t know if its for you or for me, but he’s coming.” Classic McMurtry. Also, hats off to you Mr. Jeter: Not many can put McCarthy's Judge and Chigurh and McMurtry's Blue Duck in one paragraph. There are lots of great books about Texas history, and in my view the real Texas Trilogy is: Lonesome Dove, All the Pretty Horses and Empire of the Summer Moon.

Interesting read. Love LD, both the book and the series. Thx for the deep dive.
Thank you, Lissa, for your kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Nice
Much obliged, sir.
