The Log of a Cowboy - by Andy Adams

The Virginian - Owen Wister

Published in 1912, Riders of Purple Sage is the most popular western novel of all time.

To get revenge, the town preacher begin harassing the woman until a gunslinger rides into town and decides to help her out.

The Log of a Cowboy is about a young cowboy helping to drive three thousand circle-dot longhorns along the Great Western Cattle Trail from Brownsville to Montana in 1882. Andy Adams wrote it as a response to the unrealistic cowboy stories that were being written at that time.

The Virginian is the story of a hero, who epitomizes integrity, responsibility, loyalty, justice, chivalry, and magnanimity.
