The great American novel is Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry, on the surface, just a western, but underneath it deals with the the roles of men and women, the lives the previously enslaved and Native Americans. It speaks to the rule of law, of the military and of big business. It's about friendship, duty, family, foibles all at once. It's a hell of a story.
