The Virginian by Owen Wister is a classic. I am reading it at currently and am about half-way through. The main character is a man, but there is a very strong female character as well. It is enjoyable and so far not especially violent. (I would be surprised if that changes as that wouldn't fit the overall tone of the book.
Here is what Wikipedia says about The Virginian:
"1902 novel by the American author Owen Wister (1860-1938), set in Wyoming Territory during the 1880s. It describes the life of a cowboy on a cattle ranch and is considered the first true fictional western ever written, aside from short stories and pulp dime novels, though modern scholars debate this. The Virginian paved the way for many more westerns by such authors as Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour and several others."

Hi Everyone,
What's the best Western of all time? I'm looking for a Western to read for class and would like the story to have a strong female protagonist. Also, I don't want anything too violent.
Thanks,
Charlene
