Reviews
On May 10 2020, a reader said:
Indeed that is how you feel when you read this book--that you are on the trail or around the campfire with Zane Grey. From the visit to the Rainbow Bridge to the crossing of Death Valley you'll take every step with him and feel you are there. Along the way you will encounter some interesting people and characters who helped form Zane Grey's version of the West--from traders, hunters, and just plain old folks whose influence helped make Zane Grey the writer he was. You'll thrill again the remembrance of his novels as each page unfolds in some location he has described in one of his books. There are deer hunts and bear hunts and the roping of lions in the Grand Canyon with Buffalo Jones and the most famous dog since Call of the Wild, Don. For anyone who enjoys Zane Grey's fiction this book of life in the great outdoors is just as good. Remember, This is only half of Tales of Lonely Trails, a rare title in any edition, so be sure and buy Volume 2.
