Lonesome Dove.
The main characters are two crotchety old former Texas Rangers on this epic cattle drive from Texas to Montana, but there's a big cast, and it just has a scale and level of detail and just plain good character writing you don't always see in the genre.
There seems to be a recurring theme of people loving people who can't love them back, so besides all that it has layers, like an onion.
Although I do think it has some problems structurally near the end, it's gigantic and there's a point where the author really obviously starts rushing to wrap everything up. But the journey to get there still makes it worth a read, there's some really memorable scenes in there.

True Grit by Charles Portis - very immersive narration and speech styles + the Coen brothers made a movie of it.

Excuse you, it was a John Wayne movie before that.
Never read the book though.

I've never seen any of the Duke's (or Marion's...) movies except The Searchers, love Jeff Bridges as Rooster in the 2010 version though :)

To be fair it's hard not to love Jeff Bridges in everything he's in.

I've been reading Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy on and off for the past few weeks. It's really good if you can stomach absolutely brutal passages describing gruesomely realistic violence.
