Set against the backdrop of the Johnson County War in 1890s Wyoming, the story follows a tall, honorable cowboy known as the Virginian. Through the eyes of an unnamed narrator, readers are introduced to the Virginian's encounters, including a conflict with the antagonist Trampas over a poker game. The novel explores themes of honor and chivalry, as the Virginian navigates the challenges of the untamed frontier while resisting the encroaching forces of civilization. Wister's work captures a nostalgic longing for the simpler, romanticized life of the Old West.
