The Virginian

The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains By Owen Wister The first of its kind, Wister's The Virginian is a prototypical western novel that has inspired readers and authors for over a century. Detailing the exploits of a gunslinger known solely as the Virginian, Wister's novel introduced readers to a number of western motifs that are taken for granted in western fiction today. This is a must-read for any fan of the western genre. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
