The Jimmyjohn Boss, and Other Stories
1900
The Jimmyjohn Boss, and Other Stories is a collection of Western narratives by Owen Wister, first published in 1900. The stories portray life in the American West, focusing on themes of loyalty, ambition, and rugged individualism. The main narrative follows Dean Drake, a young superintendent at a ranch, as he navigates the complexities of managing unruly cowboys and the expectations of authority. Wister's work helped establish the cowboy as an archetypical individualist hero in American literature.
