Praise for Zane Grey "Zane Grey epitomized the mythical West that should have been." -- True West magazine "Zane Grey was a literary giant. He had the knack of tying his characters into the land and the land into the story." --Erle Stanley Gardner, creator of Perry Mason Praise for Desert Heritage "Grey's first western was published under the title The Heritage of the Desert in 1910, though he had intended to call it Desert Heritage . In addition to the title change, there were also many alterations made to the text. Now Grey's original manuscript, recently rediscovered, is being published for the first time. It's a sprawling story: a man from the East moves to the West, becomes involved with rustlers and other venomous types, falls in love with a mixed-breed woman, and discovers the man who had been hiding inside him all along. The novel doesn't read like a first effort in the genre--Grey's style appears to have been fully formed when he wrote it (he had published a handful of non-westerns before finding his metier). Longtime Grey devotees will relish the opportunity to read the novel the way the author intended it to be read, and western fans less familiar with Grey's work will simply enjoy it as entertaining old-school genre fare." --David Pitt, Booklist Praise for War Comes to the Big Bend "A kidnapping, pursuit, escape, vigilante justice, and vivid scenes of brutal trench warfare, Grey serves up a gripping tale. " -- Publishers Weekly
Synopsis
Zane Grey, the bestselling author of sixty-five Western novels, is one of the most recognized and respected writers of Western fiction. His works have been translated into twenty-three languages and have been made into more than one hundred movies. This box set includes four Zane Grey classics in paperback at a great value price: Robbers' Roost, Desert Heritage, Shepherd of Guadaloupe, and War Comes to the Big Bend . -- Robbers' Roost: A Western Story -- A classic story of imperiled love on the western frontiers of nineteenth-century America. "He was a young man in years, but he had the hard face and eagle eye of one matured in experience of that wild country. He bestrode a superb bay horse, dusty and travel-worn and a little lame. The rider was no light burden, judging from his height and wide shoulders; moreover, the saddle carried a canteen, a rifle, and a pack. From time to time he looked back over his shoulder at the magnificent long cliff wall, which resembled a row of colossal books with leaves partly open. It was the steady, watchful gaze of a man who had left events behind him." So begins Jim Wales's story in Robbers' Roost . While a battle rages between two outlaw gangs in a remote Utah canyon, Jim struggles to rescue Helen Herrick, who has been captured and held for ransom. Robbers' Roost tells the story of their personal struggle to escape the clutches of the murderous outlaws while simultaneously safeguarding their passion, one that is not likely to survive the beautiful, yet deadly, terrain and people of the old American West. -- Desert Heritage: A Western Story -- Jack Hare is an Easterner who has come west for his health. In Salt Lake City he is mistaken by Dene's outlaw gang for a spy and must flee the town to escape them. He is found suffering from exhaustion and exposure in rough country by the wealthy Mormon rancher August Naab. As he is nursed back to health at Naab's ranch, Hare becomes aware that Naab's holdings are being threatened by both Dene's rustlers and an unscrupulous Gentile land-grabber named Holderness. Hare also comes to know Mescal, originally an orphan of a Spanish father and Navajo mother, taken in by Naab and promised in marriage to his eldest son, Snap. August Naab does not believe in violent resistance to Holderness's incursions. To save Hare from Dene and his gang, Naab has him accompany Mescal to his sheep camp, located in an isolated valley fastness, and it is there that the two fall in love, even though Mescal knows that she is morally bound to marry Snap Naab. Packed with adventure, action, emotion, and unforgettable characters, Desert Heritage represents one of Zane Grey's finest literary achievements. And its vivid evocation of the Painted Desert of Arizona is without equal in the genre. -- Shepherd of Guadaloupe: A Western Story -- A soldier returns home to find his parents displaced and their property stolen in this classic Western. "He leaned propped against the rail of the great ship, in an obscure place aft, shadowed by the life-boats. It was the second night out of Cherbourg and the first time for him to be on deck. The ridged and waved Atlantic, but for its turbulence, looked like the desert undulating away to the uneven horizon. The roar of the wind in the rigging bore faint resemblance to the wind in the cottonwoods at home--a sound that had haunted him for all the long years of his absence. There was the same mystery in the black hollows of the sea as from boyhood he had seen and feared in the gloomy gulches of the foothills." So begins Zane Grey's The Shepherd of Guadaloupe . After surviving the brutality of the First World War, Clifton Forrest returns home to find that his childhood home was stolen from his family. With his parents robbed of their property and the area under t
