Considered the greatest western of all time― "When you call me that, smile!" finds its origins in the book―this classic tells the story of the Wyoming ranch foreman known only as the Virginian, his courtship of school teacher Molly Wood, and his encounters with the murdering cattle rustler, Trampas.
