Originally released in 1902, Owen Wister's The Virginian pre-dates the basic novels of Zane Gray and Max Brand and is known as by many to be the original Western. Dedicated to Wister's friend and fellow outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt, this classic story almost single-handedly set up the cowboy archetype in literature. A quiet, noble foreman of any Wyoming cattle ranch in the 1870s, the Virginian comes for lovely schoolteacher Molly Hardwood. However when a rival suitor issues his honor, the Virginian challenges to make his favorite Molly understand the severe justice of the Western world.
