Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What state was Augustus McCrae born in?

Answer: Tennessee

Augustus was born in Tennessee and was schooled there. Although he remembered some of his Latin letters, he did not remember enough to know what he had written in Latin on his famous sign. For those of you who are curious about what the sign said, it read, "Uva uvam videndo varia fit." This translates to, "A grape changes color in seeing another grape" or, "A bad/good friend makes you a bad/good person." (http://www.yuni.com/library/latin_8.html)
2. Where was Captain Woodrow Call born?

Answer: Scotland

Although he was born in Scotland, he told Gus that he's just as American as anybody born in Tennessee. I would have to agree. Larry McMurtry made him into the all American man.
3. What was Pea Eye's last name?

Answer: Parker

P. E. Parker was shown on Gus's sign as a wrangler. He had been a ranger with Call and Gus long before they moved to Lonesome Dove. Captain Call was the one who accepted Pea Eye into the Rangers.
4. What was Deets' first name?

Answer: Joshua

His name is given at least twice. It is on Gus's sign as Joshua and it is on Deets' tombstone as Josh. Although it was not shown in the movie, in the book it took a lot of thinking back in time to remember that he had a name besides Deets. He tried to remember it because his name was so much shorter than the others on Gus's sign.

His name was the only on the sign that had last name first, because Gus had already put Deets on it. It read, "Deets, Joshua".
5. As soon as they arrived in Montana, Dish was ready to leave, even if it meant riding in the middle of a snowstorm. Where was he going that he felt could not wait?

Answer: Nebraska

He left Montana to go back to Nebraska in hopes that Lorie would eventually fall in love with him. Sadly, she never did.
6. Which man did Dish end up in a fight against, over comments made about Lorie?

Answer: Jasper

Jasper could never learn to keep his mouth shut when it came to making comments about Lorie's past. Dish was so in love with her that her past never mattered to him. He ended up in a fight with Jasper that Captain Call broke up with the words, "If you boys want to fight, collect your wages first."
7. What were the names of Clara Allen's two daughters?

Answer: Sally and Betsey

Her two daughters were the only children Clara had that lived. She had previously lost three sons. She wanted a son so badly that she adopted Martin, July's son, almost as soon as Elmira left.
8. Newt discovered, through Gus, that Captain Call was his father. Who was his mother?

Answer: Maggie

Although they do not go into depth about his relationship with her in the movie, the book goes into greater detail. Maggie was the one and only woman Call ever went to. After an argument with her, he never went to see her again. She eventually got together with Jake. When Jake came back to Lonesome Dove, Gus told them both that one of them was most likely Newt's pa.
9. Blue Duck first came upon Gus and Lorie by the river. After speaking to Gus, he watered his horse and left. Gus had Deets try to track him, but he was already gone. Why then did he come back to kidnap Lorie?

Answer: He hoped Gus would follow

He knew that Gus would follow them even though Lorie did not. She told Blue Duck that she did not belong to Gus, thinking that Gus would not come after her. Blue Duck knew that he would follow.
10. Lorena made it to San Francisco.

Answer: False

She does not make it to San Francisco in the "Lonesome Dove" movie. In a later novel of McMurtry's, "Streets of Laredo", she does finally make it. She goes to school and ends up back in Texas teaching school. She also marries one of the men from "Lonesome Dove", (but I won't spoil it for you.)
