Owen Wister’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Owen Wister was born in the Year of the Monkey. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Monkey thrive on having fun. They’re energetic, upbeat, and good at listening but lack self-control. They like being active and stimulated and enjoy pleasing self before pleasing others. They’re heart-breakers, not good at long-term relationships, morals are weak. Compatible with Rat or Dragon.
An author of popular fiction set in the American West, he is best known for his 1902 novel, The Virginian, which established the Cowboy as the archetypical American folk hero. His other works include Lady Baltimore (novel), Ulysses S. Grant (biography), and Red Men and White (short stories).
He briefly studied music in Paris before matriculating at Harvard Law School in the 1880s. He published his first novel, The Dragon of Wantley: His Tale, in 1892.
His best-known work, The Virginian, established not only the Cowboy archetype (a loner with a strong moral code), but also such Western genre staples as the heroine in need of saving and the climactic gun-battle showdown.
He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a physician father. He had six children with his cousin and wife, Mary Channing.
Cecil B. DeMille directed the first screen adaptation of his novel, The Virginian, in 1914.
