The Virginian

by Owen WISTER (1860 - 1938)

02 - Ch 02 - "When You Call Me That, Smile!"

Ostensibly a love story, the novel really revolves around a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War in 1890's Wyoming ... The novel takes the side of the large ranchers, and depicts the lynchings as frontier justice, meted out by the protagonist, who is a member of a natural aristocracy among men. (from Wikipedia)
