This classic gem is still a favorite in literary circles. Owen Wister was the first writer to put the American cowboy into fiction. The illustrations by William Moyers are equally as well known. The portrait of the cowboy in the novel is highly romanticized yet boldly realistic. It is a novel of action and character along with social comment. This would be a welcome addition to any library.
