    Zane Grey

    Zane Grey (1872–1939) was an American writer best known for western literature. Born and raised in Ohio, Grey was one of five children from an English Quaker family. As a youth, he developed an interest in sports, history and eventually writing. He attended University of Pennsylvania where he studied dentistry, while balancing his creative endeavors. One of his first published pieces was the article “A Day on the Delaware" (1902), followed by the novels Betty Zane (1903) and The Spirit of the Border (1906). His career spanned several decades and was often inspired by real-life settings and events.

    • 4/5
      The problem wikth this first edition of Mr. Grey's is that it is terribly dfated. Find me a modern (2011) girl of, say, 16 who will fall in love with a boy and stay in love with him without the two touching each other. better yet, find me a modern girl who can keep the secret that she loves a boy for months, yea, years. I am of Zane Grey's time more than I am of this time, whih I=is why I enjoy his writing so much. He wrote romance without the hormones.
    • 3/5
      Simplistic plot, but worth reading for the portrayal of life and political issues in Pacific Northwest around the time of WWI. Grey presents the homeland battle to support the war amidst northwestern labor movements and immigrants from Germany.
