It describes the life of a cowboy who is a natural aristocrat, set against a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War and taking the side of the large land owners. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L''Amour, and several others. It is also widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel.Table of Contents:The Dragon of WantleyLin McLeanThe Virginian: A Horseman of the PlainsPhilosophy 4: A Story of Harvard UniversityLady BaltimorePadre Ignacio: or, the Song of TemptationRed Man and WhiteLittle Big Horn Medicine Specimen JonesThe Serenade At SiskiyuoThe General''s Bluff Salvation Gap The Second Missouri CompromiseLa Tinaja Bonita A Pilgrim on the GilaThe Jimmyjohn BossA Kinsman of Red CloudSharon''s ChoiceNapoleon Shave-TailTwenty Minutes for RefreshmentsThe Promised LandHank''s WomanMotherHow Doth the Simple Spelling BeeNon-Fiction:Musk-Ox, Bison, Sheep and GoatThe Pentecost of CalamityA Straight Deal; Or, The Ancient Grudge
