    About this ebook

    Welcome to the 3 Books To Know series, our idea is to help readers learn about fascinating topics through three essential and relevant books.
    These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies.
    We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is: Western.
    Riders of the Purple Sage - Zane Grey
    The Log of a Cowboy - by Andy Adams
    The Virginian - Owen Wister
    Published in 1912, Riders of Purple Sage is the most popular western novel of all time. It is a story of a female rancher who incurs the wrath of the local clergy when she refuses to marry the deacon. To get revenge, the town preacher begin harassing the woman until a gunslinger rides into town and decides to help her out.
    The Log of a Cowboy is about a young cowboy helping to drive three thousand circle-dot longhorns along the Great Western Cattle Trail from Brownsville to Montana in 1882. Andy Adams wrote it as a response to the unrealistic cowboy stories that were being written at that time.
    The Virginian is the story of a hero, who epitomizes integrity, responsibility, loyalty, justice, chivalry, and magnanimity. It is regarded as the first cowboy novel and it stands as one of the top 50 best-selling works of fiction. Hollywood experts considered the book to be the basis for the modern fictional cowboy.
    This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics.
