Publisher Description
In the untamed West, pioneers came to test their fortunes -- and their wills. The Wyoming territory was a harsh, unforgiving land, with its own unwritten code of honor by which men lived and died. Into this rough landscape rides the Virginian, a solitary man whose unbending will is his only guide through life. The Virginian's unwavering beliefs in right and wrong are soon tested as he tries to prove his love for a woman who cannot accept his sense of justice; at the same time, a betrayal by his most trusted friend forces him to fight against the corruption that rules the land.
Customer Reviews
No doubt about it -- a great Western romance
For anyone fascinated by how the myth of the Western hero came into being, this is the book to read. it became hugely popular for decades and inspired movies. This is one of my favorite books. I just finished reading it for the second time. The Virginian is a man's man, a man of honor and integrity, a man of resolute character loved by all. The cowboy's life of honor is witnessed in the book, with dashes of adventure, suspense, humor and a romance all the way through with the school marm. Definitely the archetypal hero and epitome of the American cowboy.
