Owen Wister (July 14, 1860 – July 21, 1938) was an American writer and historian, considered the "father" of western fiction. He is best remembered for writing The Virginian and a biography of President Ulysses S. Grant. He began his literary work in 1882, publishing the novel The New Swiss Family Robinson. Mark Twain himself wrote to Wister, praising it. Wister had spent several summers out in the American West, making his first trip to Territory of Wyoming in 1885. Like his best friend Teddy Roosevelt, Wister was fascinated with the culture, lore and terrain of the region. The Virginian is widely regarded as being the first cowboy novel and it stands as one of the top 50 best-selling works of fiction, and is considered the basis for the modern fictional cowboy portrayed in literature, film and television.

New York: Ballantine Books, 1972. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. 21 cm. 158, [2] pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Map. Some wear to covers. Introduction by Barrie Pitt. Alan Wykes was an author and journalist , Alan Wykes was a prolific storyteller with a prodigious memory for historical detail. Down the years much of his work was in collaboration with others, a few of them better known as biographers than he was himself. In Noel Barber's final work Daughter of the Prince, published two years ago, it was Wykes who managed to finish the last two- thirds of the book on his own when Barber fell tragically ill and died suddenly. Wykes had a sharp eye while 'looking at the field' and managed to hit upon titles with such lethal subjects as The Doctor and His Enemy (1964; about syphilis) and Lucrezia Borgia (1970), Hitler (1970), Goebbels (1971), Himmler (1972) and Heydrich (1972).
