In the second half of Lonsome Dove, Gus and the crew keep moving north toward the Montanna territory. Miss Lori is stolen by Blue Duck, the half breed who holds a grudge against the Captain and Gus for something that happened a long time ago. Gus goes after her and gets her back with the group. Later Gus and one of his men ride out ahead to check things out when they get attacked by Indians. Gus takes two arrows to the leg, he sends the other guy for help when night falls. In the mean time Gus is found by a wanderer who takes him to the nearest doctor. The Captain and the rest of the men meet up with Gus only to discover that he has lost a leg and is very sick with gang green because he will not let the doctor remove his other leg. The Captain promises to take Gus back to Lonesome Dove and bury him there. The Captain started his ranch and then traveled back to Lonesome Dove, with Gus.
