Wister, a contemporary of Rudyard Kipling, Henry James, Frederic Remington, and Theodore Roosevelt, did not have the same staying power of reputation evidenced by his friends. But it is not because he wasn't deserving of the reputation. His journals show the germination of his Virginian, in stories relayed to him from the men and women he met in his travels. This first cowboy of modern literature is still the mold by which all other cowboys are shaped in literature and screen. Unfortunately, Wister was not a prolific writer and left u s with only a few stories by which his career should be measured. These journals are evidence of a style and voice that, were he more prolific, would have been compared kindly to near any writer who preceeded or followed him.
