The Virginian (sometimes titled The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains) was a pioneering Wild West novel by the American author Owen Wister.
The Virginian, both the character and the book, are considered to be first of their kind. The character is seen as the first real cowboy character that has set the standard for the cowboy character stereotype. The book is seen as one of the first great western novels about cowboys.
