About This Item
NEW YORK: GROSSET & DUNLAP, 1930 DARK RED COVER, BLACK PRINT FRONT AND SPINE, WEAR BOTTOM EDGE SPINE, TIGHT AND CLEAN THROUGHOUT, Owen Wister (July 14, 1860 July 21, 1938) was an American writer and historian, considered the "father" of western fiction. He is best remembered for writing The Virginian and a biography of Ulysses S. Grant. The Virginian (otherwise titled The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains) is a 1902 novel by the American author Owen Wister (1860-1938), set in Wyoming Territory during the 1880s. It describes the life of a cowboy on a cattle ranch and is considered the first true fictional western ever written, aside from short stories and pulp dime novels, though modern scholars debate this.
