Owen Wister's contributions to the Western genre extend beyond mere storytelling; he used his narratives to address social and political issues such as race, women's rights, and immigration. This biographical-literary exploration by Gary Scharnhorst delves into how Wister's experiences in the West influenced his writings and shaped his perspectives, despite his residence in the East. The book highlights Wister's role in transforming the Western into a platform for critical commentary on contemporary topics.
