- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Adam Larey thinks he has killed his brother, Guerd, over a girl. He flees into the desert with a hanging sheriff on his trail. He escapes his pursuers but eventually he runs out of food and water and is wandering delirious in the desert when a prospector named Dismukes finds and nurses him back to health as well as teaching how to live in the desert and how to manage burros. He is again rescued another time by a group of Indians who teach him more about living in the desert. He wanders the desert for years including a stay in Death Valley where he met a very strange and unhappy couple.The title clearly explains much of the story as Adam wanders through the desert searching for redemption from the guilt he carries for killing his brother. To help him forget the guilt, he helps people anywhere he finds them even if they do not want his help.If one wishes to learn about the desert, its plants and wildlife, one will learn much here. You only have to get through the pages and pages of romantic descriptions of the western desert and mountains to get that information. I love the desert but I found his lengthy epistles tiring.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite Zane Grey books. If you've ever felt dry in your soul read this book. It takes you through the wilderness of life. I enjoy reading this and looking for spiritual analogies. Read it along with the Psalms and you'll find there can be refreshment in the wilderness.
