About the author

Owen Wister's The Virginian set the template for what all future westerns would ultimately become--a strong, stalwart, honest hero; the pretty schoolmarm as romantic interest, and lots of shooting and killing. The inspiration for virtually every western from Zane Grey on can be traced back to The Virginian. Born on July 14, 1860, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, Wister was the only child of well-to-do parents. The Virginian elevated Wister from the ranks of accomplished short story writers to the level of celebrity.
