Well, I have always heard about Zane Grey, but this is my first western read. I expected it to be rather like The Lone Ranger or Maverick --the television westerns I grew up with.
Instead, it was a romance, pure and simple. Set in an age where men were men and women strong. Sure could have surprised
I doubt I will ever be tempted to pick up another Grey, but I am glad I read this.

me! But it was also a book written by a nature-lover. No one could wax so lyrical over a geography without love.I doubt I will ever be tempted to pick up another Grey, but I am glad I read this.

An enjoyable story for a cold Sunday afternoon by the fire. Not the deepest book you'll read, but the characters have a little more depth than the typical Zane Grey and the descriptions of Colorado wilderness are perfect.
