Sam Colter returns from Korea in 1953 to a small ranch in Texas, that is experiencing the worst drought in history. His dad had died whe he was ten and his mother two years ago. The only one to meet him is the loyal ranch hand, Jose. He hopes to leave the memories of battle and death behind him, but the demons follow him home, visiting him in dreams. An illness accelerates his depression and that coupled with trying to restock the ranch, in the continuing drought, is almost too much for him.
A neighboring family reaches out to him, offering friendship and support which he gladly accepts along with the attention of their daughter. Sam's life becomes more complicated when he ends up with a horse that belongs to a high school basketball star who has her own problems at home.Sam is caught in between the two girls and the saying that 'three is a crowd' takes on a whole new meaning.

Dime novels had featured some rather scrawny horse-bound tenders of cattle, but not until 1902 did the cowboy become a fully realized article of American culture. That year Owen Wister, a native of Philadelphia, published the novel that established the conventions of the western. An immediate best seller, it has never faded from public consciousness. Suddenly there was the natural aristocrat, the Virginian, who faced down the archetypal villain. Trampas, flinging at him the unforgettable words "When you call me that, smile!" There was the eastern schoolteacher, Molly, far from being a wilted flower. They moved in the raw, bracing atmosphere that generations of readers and moviegoers would come to expect from westerns. To read The Virginian, again or for the first time, is to enter a cultural phenomenon. 
This Bison Book makes available once more the memorable 1929 edition that brought together the art of Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. It adds an introduction by one of today's most brilliant creators of rugged individualists, Thomas McGuane. The author of Nobody's Angel (1982) and Keep the Change (1989), McGuane shows how The Virginian "bears all the advantages and disadvantages of being a precursor."
