The Virginian
A Horseman of the Plains
This is the classic novel of the American West, which served as a model for thousands of later novels and films. It is a story of ranch life and cowboy living at the turn of the century. The hero of the novel, the Virginian, the only name by which he is known, has left his native state at an early age to try his fortunes in the western country.

Über den Autor

The Virginian elevated Wister from the ranks of accomplished short story writers to the level of celebrity.
