In another thread on another topic I mentioned the further connection Goodnight and Loving had to LONESOME DOVE. In reality, Charlie Goodnight took Oliver Loving's body back to Texas for burial just as Capt. Woodrow Call took Gus McRae's body back to Texas in the great novel. I used to have an actual photograph of Goodnight's wagon inching it's way over the treeless plains with the coffin in the back.Art Thieme
