The first of its kind, Wister's The Virginian is a prototypical western novel that has inspired readers and authors for over a century. Detailing the exploits of a gunslinger known solely as the Virginian, Wister's novel introduced readers to a number of western motifs that are taken for granted in western fiction today. This is a must-read for any fan of the western genre. - Amazon. 650 0 $a Cattle stealing $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vigilantes $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Wyoming $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Cowboys $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Cowboys $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Vol de bestiaux $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Membres de groupes d'autodeÌfense $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 651 6 $a Wyoming $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Cowboys $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Cattle stealing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00849728 650 7 $a Cowboys. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881986 650 7 $a Vigilantes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01166910 651 7 $a Wyoming. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204583 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Western stories. $2 gsafd 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718040309.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7A2BF7D0214411EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
