I'm a fan of 'pulp' so thought I give this a go after seeing it mentioned by Fozzie Bear. I enjoyed what there is of it but it feels more like a sketch of a novel and ends just as it begins to get going.

I loved Lonesome Dove, but haven't read the others.
Are they worth it and in the order you read them?

I return to Lonesome Dove every once in a while - I think this was my 4th read! Always a treat! I've never read the others previously. They were all a pleasure to read. They're not quite in the same league as Lonesome Dove but I fully expected that. Nevertheless I'd definitely recommend them. You get to spend 1500 odd more pages with Gus and Call - what's not to like Streets of Laredo is set after Lonesome Dove, the other two are set before, with Dead Man's Walk being set earlier. I'd definitely read Lonesome Dove first (which you've already done) but after that I don't really think it matters which order you read them.... though the order I read them worked nicely for me!
