Book
The Virginian / Owen Wister with an introduction by Gary Scharnhorst.
Originally published in 1902, Owen Wister's The Virginian pre-dates the classic novels of Zane Grey and Max Brand and is considered by many to be the original Western. Dedicated to Wister's friend and fellow outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt, this timeless tale almost single-handedly established the cowboy archetype in literature. A quiet, noble foreman of a Wyoming cattle ranch in the 1870s, the Virginian falls for pretty schoolteacher Molly Wood. But when a rival suitor challenges his honor, the Virginian struggles to make his beloved Molly understand the harsh justice of the West.

250 glorious, colorful images reflect Santa Fe's year-round appeal in a fresh look at this historic and modern destination. See the city streets where monuments and architecture recall the past. Outside of town, mountains, trails, chapels, and fields of flowers beckon your exploration. Visit many summer festivals that celebrate the cultures that mix in the region and rodeos that continue the activities of cowboys and Old West life here. Many artists now call Santa Fe their hometown, because the stimulating region and active markets invigorate their work. Meet Zozobra, a jovial 50-foot-tall marionette, at Las Fiestas de Santa Fe in early September. The useful Resources section includes contact information for many of the museums, festivals, activities, and recreation areas of Santa Fe. This book is a wonderful introduction as well as a souvenir to Santa Fe's many charms, and will be a guide and a keepsake to visitors and locals alike.
