He had "come many miles from somewhere across the vast horizon, as the dust upon him showed" to the town of Medicine Bow. He joined a game of poker. It was now the Virginian's turn to bet, or leave the game, and he did not speak at once. Therefore Trampas spoke. "Your bet, you son-of-a—." The Virginian's pistol came out, and his hand lay on the table, holding it unaimed. And with a voice as gentle as ever, the voice that sounded almost like a caress, but drawling a very little more than usual, so that there was almost a space between each word, he issued his orders to the man Trampas: "When you call me that, smile." And he looked at Trampas across the table. Yes, the voice was gentle. But in my ears it seemed as if somewhere the bell of death was ringing; and silence, like a stroke, fell on the large room.

At the Bureau of Information by Owen Wister (Originally published 1904) (First published on TDO February 21, 2000) "Going to the shore?" he resounded at me, and told me, without waiting, that Salamis Grove was his point. "Best place in Jersey!" he declared heartily. "Best surf, best hotels, best sport. I've tried all the others—Charlemagne Beach, Sorrento Park, Sneak-box River, Squankawan, Shakespeare-by-the-Sea—the whole bunch of 'em, and give me Salamis. Where have you been lately?" he now asked, and again saved me the effort of speech by informing me that he had been to Scranton. "Yes. Been to Scranton. Getting material for big railroad wreck story—hot stuff!" Stanwick too frequently employs the distressing idiom of the hour. "Are you going to the shore? Salamis Park, in my opinion—"; but you need not hear Stanwick's further opinion of this spot. Indeed, I did not hear it myself. Stanwick (as you will doubtless have noticed) has the jovial monologue habit. Every fifty or sixty words he drops you a question, and goes immediately on with the monologue. Thus is created for him the illusion that he is hearing all your news, while at the same time he is spared the wear and tear of listening to you. But the jovial monologue habit spares you, also; I didn't learn Stanwick's opinions any more than he learned my destination; I merely said, "Ah-ha" and "Um-um" at him now and then, and thought of something else. He would soon ask me if I had read his new story, and I would say yes, because he would never stop long enough to find out the truth.

The Virginian : A Horseman Of The Plains Author Info: Owen Wister There can be no doubt of this : All America is divided into two classes,the qualify and the equality. The latter will always recognize the former when mistaken for it. Both will be with us until our women bear nothing but hangs. It was through the Declaration of Independence that we Americans acknowledged the ETERNAL EQUALITY of man. For by it we abolished a cut-and-dried aristocracy. We had seen little mere artificially held up in high places, and great men artificially held down in low places, and our own justice-loving hearts abhorred this violence to human nature. Therefore, we decreed that every man should thenceforth have equal liberty to find his own level. By this very decree we acknowledged and gave freedom to true aristocracy, saying, "Let the best man win, whoever he is." Let the best man win! That is America's word. That is true democracy. And true democracy and true aristocracy are one and the same thing. If anybody cannot see this, so much the worse for his

Owen Wister Owen Wister was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on July 14, 1860. Wister was as fluent in French as he was in English.  He spent time in a Swiss boarding school and briefly in a school in England.  However, he received most of his schooling at the Germantown Academy and St. Paul's school in Concord, New Hampshire, which he got into in 1873.  Wister graduated from Harvard in 1882.  At first, Wister wanted a music career and studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Ernest Guiraud, shortly after graduation.  Due to bad health and a declining interest in music, he moved west near Buffalo.  In the fall of 1885, he entered Harvard Law school and graduated in 1888. In 1891, he knew that his career had been determined in becoming a writer.  In 1902, he wrote his most famous novel called The Virginian .  It was a best seller for six months, and by 1938, it had sold over a million and a half copies.  Wister married his second cousin in 1898.  They had three sons and three daughters together.  On July 21, 1938, Owen Wister died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

Dido and Aeneas , which toured professionally in New York and beyond. Determined to try for a career as a composer, Wister spent the next year studying music in Paris, supported by his dubious father, who disapproved of so unconventional a choice. By 1883, Wister himself had given up. He returned home and eventually took a junior position in a Philadelphia law firm. If Wister seemed reconciled to legal work, he was also bored and restless. He renewed his interest in fiction, collaborating on a novel with a Harvard friend, and made plans to enter Harvard Law School. Instead he suffered a mysterious breakdown that included vertigo, blinding headaches, and hallucinations. On the advice of his doctor, he traveled west to restore his health. By July 1885, he found himself a guest at the VR Ranch near present-day Douglas, Wyoming. Wister's real life was about to begin.
