Zane Grey

American author (Pearl Zane Grey) is best known as a pioneer of the Western literary genre, which idealized the Western frontier and the men and women who settled the region. Following in his father’s footsteps, Grey studied dentistry while on a baseball scholarship to the University of Pennsylvania. Grey’s athletic talent led to a short career in the American minor league before he established his dentistry practice. As an outlet to the tedium of dentistry, Grey turned to writing, and finally abandoned his dental practice to write full time. Over the course of his career Grey penned more than ninety books, including the best-selling Riders of the Purple Sage. Many of Grey’s novels were adapted for film and television. He died in 1939.

    Linc Bradway goes to Wyoming to avenge the killing of his best friend, Jimmy Weston. Quickly he comes under the influence of the beautiful Kit Brandon who is co-owner of a gambling house and seems to be involved in rustling and possibly the murder of his friend Weston. Another complication is Linc meets Kit's niece Lucy and falls in love with her.Kit is convinced that she has Linc wrapped around her finger and warns Lucy to stay away from him. There is also a potential cattle war between the cowboys and the ranchers which never made much sense to me. In fact the entire plot made little sense when everything could be put right immediately if just someone told what they knew and it was never really explained why they kept silent about stuff they knew.. From my point of view, the novel was not really worth reading even if Grey toned down his romantic descriptions of the western scenery for a change.

    Pure pulp - a dime store story set in the West.
