** Although suspect according to modern medicine, this was an accepted practice at the time. American frontiersmen believed that Indian arrowheads could be poisoned, barbed, and even ''detachable'' to prevent easy extraction from the wounds they caused. Some -- not all -- arrows ''were'' as devious as described.

Badass Mustache and Badass Beard are being merged into Manly Facial Hair. Examples that don't fit or are zero-context are removed. To qualify for Manly Facial Hair, the facial hair must be associated with masculinity in some way. Please read the trope description before readding to make sure the example qualifies.

A fitting sentiment for the way the characters affect each other in this story.]]

The novel deepens Lori's struggle by describing the string of abusive relationships that brought her to Lonesome Dove in the first place. She considers Jake a cushy partner because he tends to hit her just once when he's angry; previous lovers and pimps were not so gentle.
** Elmira, the wandering wife of July Johnson, also gets hit with this trope in the expanded backstory provided in the novel. She's an ex-whore with a hard history; she leaves Fort Smith [[spoiler: and heads to her doom]] because she just can't appreciate how nicely July treats her.

Gus deserves special mention, though, for packing a Walker Colt -- the largest and most powerful handgun available at the time. The San Antonio saloon scene demonstrates how its great size and weight could be assets; it makes a wickedly effectively '''club''' without factoring in its shooting abilities.
