The Virginian
Owen WISTER (1860 - 1938)
Ostensibly
a love story, the novel really revolves around a highly mythologized
version of the Johnson County War in 1890's Wyoming ... The novel takes
the side of the large ranchers, and depicts the lynchings as frontier
justice, meted out by the protagonist, who is a member of a natural
aristocracy among men. (from Wikipedia)
Genre(s): Westerns

Red Men And White
Owen WISTER (1860 - 1938) These
eight stories are made from our Western Frontier as it was in a past as
near as yesterday and almost as by-gone as the Revolution; so swiftly
do we proceed. They belong to each other in a kinship of life and
manners, and a little through the nearer tie of having here and there a
character in common. Thus they resemble faintly the separate parts of a
whole, and gain, perhaps, something of the invaluable weight of length;
and they have been received by my closest friends with suspicion.
...When our national life, our own soil, is so rich in adventures to
record, what need is there for one to call upon his invention save to
draw, if he can, characters who shall fit these strange and dramatic
scenes? One cannot improve upon such realities. If this fiction is at
all faithful to the truth from which it springs, let the thanks be given
to the patience and boundless hospitality of the Army friends and other
friends across the Missouri who have housed my body and instructed my
mind. And if the stories entertain the ignorant without grieving the
judicious I am content. (Summary from Author's Preface)

through four editions over the next ten years. This is the 1895 edition.
