Owen Wister: Chronicler of the West, Gentleman of the EastIn what remains the only full length biography of Owen Wister (1860 1938), Darwin Payne details the life of the man who created the popular image of the cowboy that dominated American culture from the early 1900s to the 1960s.

In what remains the only full-length biography of Owen Wister (1860-1938), Darwin Payne details the life of the man who created the popular image of the cowboy that dominated American culture from the early 1900s to the 1960s. Payne follows Wister from his privileged childhood in Philadelphia, to his undergraduate days at Harvard, to his musical studies in Europe, to his "discovery" of the West, and through his maturation as an individual and a writer. Payne draws on Wister's own voluminous papers and writings in delineating, for the first time, the real-life incident that prompted Wister to invent the character of "the Virginian," and in presenting the actual individual whom the famous character most closely resembles. Payne also provides intimate details about Wister's surprising friendships with such prominent American figures as Theodore Roosevelt, William Dean Howells, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., William James, Frederic Remington, and John Jay Chapman.

Easy to order, fast delivery, great quality for the price.
Color: White, Size: Large
My husband had been looking for a white dress shirt, in oxford material off and on for two years. Most dress shirts are so big on the sides because we usually have to fit about a 17 1/2" neck. Started looking at Amazon's clothing section. Saw the COOFANDY Men's Long Sleeve Regular Fit Button Down Oxford Shirt, and ordered by Large instead of sleeve length, neck size, etc. I ordered as a surprise hoping it would work. When the COOFANDY shirt arrived, I had him try it on. Perfect fit, nice oxford material. Washed and ironed before he wore it to church. He loved it! I have now ordered three more COOFANDY men's long sleeve shirts. Hubby now wants me to see if they have short sleeve shirts! Great buy at $25.00.

I usually order 3x shirts,but sometimes 4x on dress shirts.This shirt is 4x and still a little tight.One would be wise to order a size higher.Looks nice.
