Virginian
The unabridged classic on MP3 audio, narrated by Anais 9000. Three playback speeds on one disk; etext edition included. Running time: 12.7 hours (slow), 11.6 hours (medium), 10.6 hours (fast). Revolving around a highly mythologized version of the Johnson County War in 1890's Wyoming, The Virginian is considered the first Western; that is, the first with the real cowboy character, in which the protagonist must defend his personal values in a violent confrontation with socially destructive forces.
