In this period I'm reading books as "Jubal" of Wellman and "The big sky" of Guthrie. They speak about the far west and the life of cowboys and native American during the 1800! Anybody can say to me other titles of good western books to read??

I personally enjoyed Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry.

The subject of Lonesome Dove, cowboys herding cattle on a great trail-drive, seems like the very stuff of that cliched myth, but McMurtry bravely tackles the task of creating meaningful literature out of it. At first the novel seems the kind of anti-mythic, anti-heroic story one might expect: the main protagonists are a drunken and inarticulate pair of former Texas Rangers turned horse rustlers. Yet when the trail begins, the story picks up an energy and a drive that makes heroes of these men. Their mission may be historically insignificant, or pointless--McMurtry is smart enough to address both possibilities--but there is an undoubted valor in their lives.
