Riders of the Purple Sage (Dover Thrift Editions: Classic Novels)
by Zane Grey
Initially published in 1912 and the first of Zane Grey's many bestsellers, this stirring tale of adventure in the high country established the prototype for western novels of the twentieth century. The plot's focus is a proud young heroine who's determined to defend her Utah ranch. She stands alone against the villains who rustle and stampede her cattle — until a stranger rides into the territory. Notorious as the scourge of Mormon transgressors, the stranger stays on to assist in the inevitable showdown, and romance blooms amid the canyons and cottonwoods. A classic of American frontier fiction, Riders of the Purple Sage teems with color, authenticity, and thrills.

Roping Lions in the Grand Canyon
by Zane Grey
Lion Home
"This is virgin ground, where no man has ever hunted," said Buffalo Jones. "We stumbled onto a lion home, the breeding place of the deadly canyon cougar."
Powell's Plateau was the most remote, inaccessible corner of the Grand Canyon when Zane Grey went there with a buffalo hunter, a forest ranger, a hard-bitten Utah cowboy, and a Navajo scout.
Armed with ropes and rifles, the five men rode in on half-wild mustangs, their eyes peeled for cougar sign. They were not disappointed. Lion trails snaked through the brush and up the rocky cliffs on every side. They were in the last stronghold of the magnificent man-killers!
Even more exciting than his best-selling fiction, this is a true story from the immortal pen of America's greatest storyteller of outdoor adventure - Zane Grey.

Riders of the Purple Sage (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics)
by Zane Grey
A master of narrative momentum and suspense, Zane Grey sweeps readers into his stories and makes them feel that things are out of control, that boundaries are being burst.
In Riders of the Purple Sage, the most famous novel of the American West, Grey creates a hero of epic proportions, a villain of legendary evil and a world in which the landscape is rendered with such force that it seems to express thoughts and feelings, to become a character in its own right. Indeed, Riders of the Purple Sage derives much of its depth and power from passions whose forbidden and overwhelming nature cannot be expressed by human beings and are therefore embodied in the natural world. In his depiction of the relationship between Lassiter, the hero, and Jane Withersteen, Grey breaks other literary barriers: Jane, modelled on the heroines of the nineteenth-century novel, must come to terms with the values expressed by Lassiter - the harsh, "masculine" values of the twentieth century. Their struggles together represent the tumultuous changes society itself was confronting.

by Zane Grey
Three classics of the western genre by the greatest of its founders
Zane Grey is the most famous writer in westerns, a founder of the genre. His works have been made into more than one hundred movies and his stories have endured for a century, influencing all others in the genre.
Three fine, characteristic works are included in this omnibus: To the Last Man, the story of Arizona's Pleasant Valley War―an historic brutal family feud that ended in universal slaughter; The Mysterious Rider, a romantic adventure featuring Hell Bent Wade, a basically good man with a violent temper that leads him to murder―and redemption; and The Lone Star Ranger, the tale of a youth turned gunman turned Texas Ranger―and perhaps the spark that inspired that mythic character, The Lone Ranger.

Cottonwoods, Utah. 1871. A woman stands accused. A man, sentenced to whipping. Into this travesty of small-town justice rides the one man the town elders fear. His name is Lassiter, a notorious gunman who's come to avenge his sister's death. It doesn't take Lassiter long to see that this once-peaceful Mormon community is controlled by the corrupt Deacon Tull--a powerful elder who's trying to take the woman's land by forcing her to marry him, branding her foreman as a dangerous "outsider." Lassiter vows to help them. But when the ranch is attacked by horse thieves, cattle rustlers, and a mysterious Masked Rider, he realizes they're up against something bigger, and more brutal, than the land itself. . .
In this battle, no man rides alone.

Adam Laret, big, young and headstrong, ran from Ehrenberg to the banks of the Rio Colorado. He was blindly fleeing his scheming, gambling brother and the woman Guerd stole from him.

Knights of the Range: A Western Story
by Zane Grey
From the bestselling author of Riders of the Purple Sage, comes another classic Western tale.
The sun set across the purple sky over the Don Carlos Rancho while the warm Santa Fe breeze rustled through the grazing fields just off the trail. The Colonel sat on his porch, staring over the whole scene, pondering the seemingly-doomed future of his prized cattle ranch. Another spell with my heart like this last one will kill me,” he said nervously to his right-hand man, Britt.
Afraid it would break her, the Colonel kept his condition from his alienated daughter, Hollywho was shipped off to boarding school in the East at the tender age of eight. The Colonel would settle for nothing less than the best education for his daughter. Not to mention, the Westcrawling with outlaws, thieves, and greedwas no place for a naïve, young woman.
However, in the wake of the Colonel’s death, Holly is forced to return and take the reins of her father’s beloved cattle empire. In the midst of hordes of outlaws ransacking the ranch and antagonizing their stock, the heiress must learn the ways of the West alongside the Captain Britt, in an attempt to salvage what’s left of her father’s dream.
In the spirit and glory of a classic Western, and published exactly as the author originally intended, Knights of the Range, is one of Zane Grey’s swiftest and most exciting novels.

Riders of the Purple Sage (Modern Library Classics)
by Zane Grey
Told by a master storyteller who, according to critic Russell Nye, “combined adventure, action, violence, crisis, conflict, sentimentalism, and sex in an extremely shrewd mixture,” Riders of the Purple Sage is a classic of the Western genre. It is the story of Lassiter, a gunslinging avenger in black, who shows up in a remote Utah town just in time to save the young and beautiful rancher Jane Withersteen from having to marry a Mormon elder against her will. Lassiter is on his own quest, one that ends when he discovers a secret grave on Jane’s grounds. “[Zane Grey’s] popularity was neither accidental nor undeserved,” wrote Nye. “Few popular novelists have possessed such a grasp of what the public wanted and few have developed Grey’s skill at supplying it.”
