What happens

Return to Lonesome Dove is a 1993 American three part television miniseries, written by John Wilder involving characters created in Larry McMurtry's Western novel Lonesome Dove which was broadcast by CBS and first aired on November 14, 16 and 18, 1993. The story focuses on a retired Texas Ranger and his adventures driving mustangs from Texas to Montana. It was followed by Lonesome Dove: The Series. It is a sequel to the 1989 miniseries Lonesome Dove, but was not written by McMurtry, who wrote and published his own sequel novel, Streets of Laredo, in the same time frame. McMurtry followed Streets of Laredo with two prequels, which with Laredo were also subsequently made into TV miniseries. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
