Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisNo book has a better claim to have invented the myth of the American West. It is 1871 in Cottonwoods, Utah. This is the story of the gunman, Lassiter, and the Mormon rancher, Jane Withersteen.
Great cowboy story with lots of purple sage and bad guys and good guys that are awkward with women and aren't too good and a definite loathing if Mormon polygamy
This story is the western that started it all! Zane Grey was a master storyteller although since this story is now a century old the words are sometimes awkward the book itself is in fine shape. I love buying my reading material from e-bay!
