        My foot's in the stirrup, 
My pony won't stand, 
Goodbye, old partner, 
I'm leaving Cheyenne.

"Leaving Cheyenne, " Larry McMurtry's second novel, traces the loves of three West Texas characters as they follow that sundown trail: Gideon Fry, the serious rancher, Johnny McCloud, the free-spirited cowhand, and Molly Taylor, the sensitive woman they both love and who bears them each a son. Tragic circumstances mark the trail but McMurtry's style never turns melodramatic or sentimental.
