It’s the Season Three finale of The Gibson Girl Review, and we are bringing it home with jangling spurs and a rollicking BANG! Amy, Jacinta, and Amanda all gather in the studio to discuss the Godfather of the American Western genre, Owen Wister’s 1902 classic, The Virginian. Filled with humor, pathos, and some immortal characters, this meandering tale may very well change the way you think about Westerns forever!
Topics and shout-outs in this episode include: Louis L’Amour, Zane Grey, Bret Harte, John Wayne, the Old West, American mythology, animal abuse, lynching, racism, High Noon, Angel and the Badman, the Wyoming Territory, and western tropes.
