小說家歐文‧魏斯特 (Owen Wister) 於1860年7月14日出生了

在西部電影受歡迎之前，人們早已對西部的野外生活有很大的嚮往。前印第安巡守員及水牛獵人的水牛比爾‧寇迪 (Buffalo Bill Cody) ，曾帶了1百位牛仔與印第安人，許多動物，還有神槍手安妮‧歐克理 (Annie Oakley) 在1883年時到達東岸。巴福羅‧比爾的「西部野外秀」 (Wild West Show) 直到20世紀後，仍繼續在全場爆滿的觀眾面前表演。

雖然你不是住在養牛的農場裡，你現在還是可以在馬術競賽會中看到牛仔，或者是你可以看看有關古老西部的書籍，想像自己騎在最信任的馬兒背上，朝著日落方向奔馳而去。歐文‧魏斯特的「維吉尼亞人」可能是很好的選擇喔！

Even before the Western-type of movie became popular, people were fascinated with life on the frontier. Former Indian scout and buffalo hunter Buffalo Bill Cody brought a cast of 100 cowboys and Indians, a collection of wild animals, and sharpshooter Annie Oakley to the East in 1883. Buffalo Bill's "Wild West Show" played for packed audiences into the 20th century.

If you don't live on a cattle ranch, you can see today's cowboys at a rodeo, or you can pick up a book about the old West and dream about a life of riding into the sunset on the back of your trusty horse. You might want to start with Owen Wister's tale about The Virginian.
