Zane Grey (January 31, 1872–October 23, 1939), born in Ohio, was practicing dentistry in New York when he and his wife, Lina Roth (Dolly) Grey, 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. Riders of the Purple Sage (1912) was his bestselling book. More than 130 films have been based on his work.

“A great writer, rich in invention, prodigal with his action, juicily romantic.” New Yorker
“This tells of Ranger Thad Eburne, forest conservationist, and his attempt to protect a herd of 50,000 deer doomed to death. It also tells of Eburne’s love for Patricia, a moneyed, rootless eastern girl who feels that the west will purify her past and start her on a new life.” Kirkus Reviews
