l wish there were more of them.'"--_New York Tribune._
"Mr. Wister has drawn real men and real women.... In 'The
Virginian' he has put forth a book that will be remembered and read
with interest many years hence."--_Chicago American._
"The story is human and alive. It has the 'touch and go' of the
vibrating life of the expansive American West and puts the country
and the people vividly before the reader."--_Philadelphia
Times-Saturday Review._

"The stories show Mr. Wister at his best. It would be a difficult

Admirers of Wister will find in this book one that they will read
several times."--_Detroit News._
