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.
