Owen Wister: Chronicler of the West, Gentleman of the EastIn what remains the only full length biography of Owen Wister (1860 1938), Darwin Payne details the life of the man who created the popular image of the cowboy that dominated American culture from the early 1900s to the 1960s.

In what remains the only full-length biography of Owen Wister (1860-1938), Darwin Payne details the life of the man who created the popular image of the cowboy that dominated American culture from the early 1900s to the 1960s. Payne follows Wister from his privileged childhood in Philadelphia, to his undergraduate days at Harvard, to his musical studies in Europe, to his "discovery" of the West, and through his maturation as an individual and a writer. Payne draws on Wister's own voluminous papers and writings in delineating, for the first time, the real-life incident that prompted Wister to invent the character of "the Virginian," and in presenting the actual individual whom the famous character most closely resembles. Payne also provides intimate details about Wister's surprising friendships with such prominent American figures as Theodore Roosevelt, William Dean Howells, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., William James, Frederic Remington, and John Jay Chapman.

great sunscreen for face
Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
this is my favorite stick sunscreen for the face. it does have a slight white cast when you first apply it but it goes away once it’s been rubbed into the skin. so many sunscreens say they have a “non-sting formula” but this is the only one i have used that truly doesn’t burn/sting the eyes when applied on the eyelids or when you sweat into your eyes. doesn’t have that traditional “sunscreen smell” either. it leaves a healthy glow to the skin as well. three swipes on all areas of the face is enough coverage. it is a little pricey but i think it lasts quite awhile. highly recommend trying this sunscreen.

Has a white cast
Size: 1.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen has a white cast and you cannot rub it in enough for it to go away. It does protect very well from the sun and I did not burn at all using it. I would use this at the beach or outside but not for everyday use or under make up because of the white cast

Easier to Apply, Less Weight & Pkg, TSA Approved Solid
Size: 1.5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Will never go back. This is super easy to use, to carry with in your bag when you’re gone all day (no spills!), doesn’t feel greasy, works right away because its mineral. In some ways, moisturizes so you don’t even need a primer!
