About Zane Grey

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.

Quotes

“Grey had spent some ten years in Polynesia, and he decided to present an accurate picture of white/native relations, albeit embedded in a romance. What happens is as unexpected as if Maugham sat down to write West of the Pecos or Riders of the Purple Sage." Kirkus Reviews
