Books with title Lin McLean 1907

Owen Wister is probably best known for his classic western 'The Virginian', but here we have the book that spawned that classic. Lin Mclean is more a collection of stories about life in the 'west' spun into a novel. Ranging from the quaint to the all to real and grim, this is a must read for any fan of early 20th century American literature and the western in general.

From the bestselling author of The Virginian comes Lin McLean, Wister's first novel, about a young cowboy from the Wind River country in Wyoming who tires of the dust and hard life and heads east to Boston to seek his fortune. In this novel after the young hero's first adventure with his elder brother and the bishop, a plot begins with the entrance of the biscuit-shooter, and steadily proceeds through climax and catastrophe to resolution. This publication from Boomer Books is specially designed and typeset for comfortable reading.

This antiquarian book contains a collection of short stories that together form a novel. It is a romance novel in a Western setting, with the story unravelling in the open range and within the frontier towns of Wyoming in the 1880s. Although the narrative is primarily a portrayal of an admirable young man, the story revolves around his attempts at winning the hands of two young women, both of whom eventually betray him. The chapters of this book include: 'Variety, You Bet!', 'How Lin Went East', 'Home to the Sage-Bush', 'The New Girl', 'The Winning of the Biscuit-Shooter', 'Honey-Moon Lin', 'You Sage-Bush Bigamist!', 'In Search of Christmas', 'Santa-Claus Lin', 'Young Responsibility', 'The True Girl', and more.
