Indian wars, lynch mobs, desert crossings, mining camps, stagecoach robberies—all are brought vividly to life in Owen Wister’s Red Men and White, the first book of western stories written by the author of the classic cowboy novel, The Virginian. Published in 1895, most of the stories in Red Men and White are based on actual events as told to Wister during his extensive travels in the Old West. Filled with humor, drama, and tragedy, it offers a fascinating glimpse of Wister’s writing at a time when he was laying the foundations of the modern Western.

About the author
Owen Wister was born into Philadelphia high society in 1860. After graduating from Harvard, he floundered in search of a profession, until a mysterious illness in 1885 that sent him on a journey west set him on the path to become a writer. In addition to Red Men and White, he wrote such novels as Lin Mc Lean (1897), The Virginian (1902), and Lady Baltimore (1906), as well as biographies and political commentaries. Wister was a frequent guest at Theodore Roosevelt’s White House, and he encouraged and supported new writers such as Ernest Hemingway and Sinclair Lewis.
