The Cowboy Legend: Owen Wister's Virginian and the Canadian-American Ranching Frontier

Before Owen Wister's publication of "The Virginian" in 1902, the image of the cowboy was essentially that of the dime novel. This title details the evidence that Everett Johnson a cowboy from Virginia who had been a friend of Wister's in Wyoming in the 1880s, was the initial and prime inspiration for Wister's cowboy.
