Captain Caul and Augustus McCray

When "gus" McCray dies at the end of Lonesome Dove he is at the trails end in Montana...his one wish is to be buried back in Texas and Captain Call (Tommy Lee Jones) promises he will take him to that special spot by the river near the Pecan Trees. The word gets out and people can't beleive that a man would risk his life to bury a dead man. A newspaper man wants to write a story...People think Captain Caul has lost his mind. Gus' longtime girlfriend despises his stubbornness " just bury him here in Nebraska"..." a promise is a promise" says Captain Caul. https: The indians shoot at him... the casket and body are nearly lost crossing a river and then finally...beaten down by the miles and elements in a stupor of exhaustion and grief Gus is laid to rest right where he wished, right where Captain Caul promised. " A promise is a promise" This determination and resolve is still around today...nobody reports on it much...people like bad news and gossip... but I know some warriors who still live with such grit https://mail.gracepoint.org/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://theburkholders.blogspot.com/2007/12/no-matter-cost.html
Check out this blog of one such hero..." a promise is a promise" I said I will follow...and I will.
