Virginian
Published in 1902, 'The Virginian' by Owen Wister is a novel that intertwines a love story with the historical context of the Johnson County War in 1890s Wyoming. It presents a romanticized view of the conflict, portraying the large ranchers' perspective and depicting acts of lynching as forms of frontier justice. The protagonist embodies a 'natural aristocracy,' reflecting themes of masculinity and social hierarchy in the American West.
