Synopsis

Panguitch is king of the wild mustangs. A magnificent stallion the color of a lion, except for his black mane and tail, he has been unsuccessfully sought for years by a number of horse hunters. Chane Weymer can hardly believe when the Paiute chief, Toddy Nokin, confides in him, a white man, that Panguitch and his herd are on Wild Horse Mesa in Utah. How can a herd of horses be on the insurmountable mesa?Chane buys horses from the Paiute that he plans to sell to the Mormons, but he is attacked by horse thieves and escapes with only the horse he is riding. Having evaded the thieves, he discovers the wild horses led by Panguitch. Now that he knows Panguitch’s access to Wild Horse Mesa, Chane decides to return to capture the wild stallion.Chane is near exhaustion when he rides into the Melberne-Loughbridge horse-hunting camp. Amazed to find that his brother is part of the crew there, he accepts Melberne’s invitation to join them. But trouble lies ahead as Benton Manerube, a man associated with the horse thieves who attacked Chane, is in the camp posing as an expert horse hunter.

About Zane Grey

Zane Grey® (1872–1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife published his first novel. Grey presented the West as a moral battleground in which his characters are destroyed because of their inability to change or are redeemed through a final confrontation with their past. The man whose name is synonymous with Westerns made his first trip west in 1907 at age thirty-five. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

Goodreads review by Altivo

For those (like myself) who enjoy writers like Bret Harte or Zane Grey who engage in long, leisurely descriptions and asides, this is a good historical piece.

This is a review of the large print edition done by Thorndyke Press which currently is not listed here at Goodreads. Here is a picture of the cover: The plot of this Western is familiar enough -- let's go round up the wild horses, kill most of them and screw the Indians over while we're at it -- but......more

Goodreads review by Roberta

I'm not usually a big fan of Westerns. But this book was one of my Grandmother's library, which I inherited. While moving some books around on the bookcases, I happened to pick this one up and set it beside my work desk. In between work, I picked it up just out of curiosity to look at the first page......more

Quotes

“Zane Grey was a literary giant. He had the knack of tying his characters into the land and the land into the story.” Erle Stanley Gardner, author of the Perry Mason series, praise for the author

“Grey had a deep and pervasive effect on the way America saw itself, and he was a crucial—perhaps the crucial—figure in the romanticization of the West that has yet to loose its grip on the nation.” New York Times
