Leaving Cheyenne tells of a love triangle unlike any other: Gideon Fry, heir to Texas ranch; Johnny McCloud his cowboy friend; and Molly, whom they both love and who bears each of them a son.

Work Description
"McMurtry's description of the old North Fort worth cattle world, about the time of World War I, with the stockyards, the cowboy hotels, cattle trains pulling in every hour, the sound of streetcars, and bootheels on paving bricks, delivers an absolute sense of time and place. A complicated love story fills the last portion of the books, and brings the novel up to modern times." --A.C. Greene THE 50 BEST BOOKS ON TEXAS
