THE VIRGINIAN
The Virginian (otherwise titled The Virginian: A Horseman of the Plains) is a 1902 novel by the American author Owen Wister(1860-1938), set in the Wyoming Territory during the 1880s. It describes the life of a cowboy on a cattle ranch and is considered the first true fictional western ever written. The Virginian paved the way for many more Westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour, and others.

DELILAH OF THE SNOWS
Delilah Of The Snows is a story about the blindness of a young man, Walter Ingleby, to the sterling worth of a girl in his own "class," his mad infatuation for another girl socially beyond his reach, and his final awakening to his folly when the other girl betrays him as wantonly as Delilah betrayed Samson, into the hands of the authorities who demand his life. The story's scene is the Klondike, with the sense conveyed of cold, deprivation, suffering, primitive passions, and the hope that the application of the law might make things right.
