Customer Reviews

I've read over 60 of Grey's books and this is rates high.
As a lover of the American West, I have read all of Zane Grey's western novels. This book is one of his very best. He combines his usual descriptive scenery as well as historical scenes in a very interesting fashion. As a woman, I believe this is one of his most romantic novels. The innocence of the relationships during this time period is just as exciting as a modern novel. I highly recommend this book as reading for all sexes.

First Zane Grey I ever read! Very good!
Never wanted to pick up a Zane Grey because I thought his stuff was so male-oriented. But his portrayal of his ancestors piqued my interest, especially since the hero was female. I took the tale with a grain of salt, realizing how even family stories can grow into legend. I was moved, however, to investigate some of the historical persons mentioned in the book, such as Lewis Wetzel, on the internet. What a fascinating time to read about. So MAYBE I'll read another Zane Grey book. We'll see.
