  • 内容简介
  • 此为作者的一部 1902年的小说,故事的场景设置在狂野的西部大地上。作品描述了一个在怀俄明牛场的牛仔的生活,小说也是抛开有真情实感但是没有任何价值的小说里真正描写西部生活的小说。同时此部小说也为西部小说作者铺平了道路。

    The Virginian (otherwise titled The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains) is a 1902 novel set in the Wild West by the American author Owen Wister. It describes the life of a cowboy on a cattle ranch in Wyoming and was the first true western ever written, aside from short stories and pulp dime novels. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and several others.
