Decision is a NBC anthology TV series that aired as a summer replacement for "The Loretta Young Show" in 1958. The episodes consisted of repurposed failed pilots, including a TV adaptation of the Owen Wister novel "The Virginian", starring James Drury. He would later star in a TV adaptation of the same novel.
The Owen Wister novel "The Virginian" was published more than 50 years before "Decision" aired.
It's not clear in the text when the novel was published, therefore we don't know for sure. It's difficult because the system might be thinking I'm just saying the novel was published before the TV series aired.
