description: Wister, an Easterner who moved to the West, invented the Western novel with The Virginian . This collection of stories deserves to be read for Wister's descriptions of interracial contact, his handling of military-Indian conflict, and his characterization of frontier picaro Specimen Jones. Includes a new introduction, but lacks a subject index. Reprinted from the original 1896 edition, titled Red Men and White , by Harper &amp; Brothers Publishers, New York. Annotation c.
