Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pearl Zane Grey was born January 31st, 1872, in Zanesville, Ohio. From an early age, he was intrigued by history, fishing, baseball, and writing, all of which would stimulate his later success. Grey was an avid reader of adventure stories, consuming dime store novels by the dozen. By age fifteen he had written his first story; Jim of the Cave. His father, a difficult man, tore it to shreds and then beat him. He and his brother were keen fisherman and baseball players with aspirations of playing in the major leagues. Eventually, Grey was spotted by a baseball scout and received offers from colleges. Grey took up an offer from the University of Pennsylvania to studied dentistry. Naturally arriving on a scholarship really meant you had to be able to play. He rose to the occasion by playing against the Riverton club, pitching five scoreless innings and a double in the tenth which tied down the win. Sports scholarship kids can be average scholars. Grey certainly was. He preferred to spend his time outside class not trying to raise his grades but playing baseball, swimming, and writing. At university he was shy and teetotal, more of a loner than a party animal. Grey struggled with the idea of becoming a writer or baseball player for his career, but unhappily resolved that dentistry was the practical choice. Grey set up his dental practice in New York as Dr. Zane Grey after graduating in 1896. Though a dentist his real ambition now was to be a writer and New York had lots of publishers. Evenings were set aside for writing to offset the tedium of his dental practice. His first magazine article, "A Day on the Delaware," a human-interest story about a Grey brothers' fishing expedition, was published in the May 1902 issue of Recreation magazine. After some rejections he wrote his first Western, The Heritage of the Desert in 1910. It was the breakthrough. It quickly became a bestseller. Here was Grey's over arching themes; Manifest Destiny, the conquest of the Old West, and men wrestling with elemental conditions. Two years later Grey produced his best-known book, Riders of the Purple Sage (1912), his all-time best-seller. With its publication Zane Grey became a household name. Grey started his association with Hollywood when William Fox bought the rights to Riders of the Purple Sage for $2,500 in 1916. His writing career would now rise in sync with that of the movie industry. During the crash and subsequent depression of the 1930s, the publishing industry was hard work. Sales fell off. Serializations were harder to sell. Grey was lucky. He had avoided investing in the Stock Market, he was still writing and very popular and continued to earn royalty income. This also coincided with the time that nearly half of the film adaptations of his novels were made. Zane Grey died of heart failure on October 23rd, 1939, at his home in Altadena, California. He was interred at the Lackawaxen and Union Cemetery, Lackawaxen, Pennsylvania.

Download or read book The Water Hole written by Zane Grey and published by Blackstone Western. This book was released on 2015-11-02 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It would seem that the end of every war has been followed in the United States by social and moral changes, mostly for the worse. Zane Grey certainly felt that way about the effects of the Great War, and to show these changes and how to cope with them became the impulse behind what he called The Water Hole. However, before magazine publication, changes were made in his text, including the names of all the characters. Fortunately Grey's original handwritten manuscript has survived, so now this story can be told with his characters named and presented as he intended them to be. In 1925 widowed businessman Elijah Winters brings his daughter, Cherry, from Long Island to stay at a trading post in a remote area some distance from Flagstaff, Arizona. Removed from the country clubs and speakeasies, Cherry is at first bored with simple ranch life, and to entertain herself she flirts with several of the cowboys, not realizing they are very different from the young men she knew back east. Also very different is Stephen Heftral, a young archaeologist who is searching for an ancient and lost kiva of a primitive Indian tribe that disappeared centuries before in what became the land of the Navajos. Heftral believes that this lost kiva is most probably in a desert fastness called Beckyshibeta, the Navajo word for water hole. Elijah colludes with Heftral to awaken Cherry to a new and healthier way of life by taking her, by force if necessary, to the site. Cherry resents being kidnapped but comes to forget the luxury of her past in the beauty and dangers of the canyons-and in the thrill of making an important archaeological discovery.

Download or read book Riders of the Purple Sage Annotated written by Zane Grey and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Riders of the Purple Sage is an old Western novel and includes traditional themes of Western novels. The book starts off with Lassiter, a lonely gunslinger who is feared throughout the entire West. People believe him to be a cruel and murderous man, as we are led to believe at the beginning of the book. Yet he only uses his weapons for the greater good, such as the mission he is on. Lassiter is looking for his long-lost sister Milly Erne, who was taken from her husband by Mormons and forced to become a wife in their society. She and Lassiter were separated for nearly two decades, but he eventually finds her... dead in the ground with a puny gravestone, on a cattle ranch in Cottonwoods, Utah. Lassiter learns that she gave birth to a child while she was taken away, but was unable to be with her child, dying as a result. He learns this from Jane Withersteen, the owner of the cattle ranch and a close friend of Milly, if not Milly's only friend in this cruel, foreign community.At this time, Jane is in the spotlight of the town. She owns heaps of wealth, and is by far the wealthiest person in Cottonwoods, after inheriting money from her late father. As a result, many men in the Mormon town want to marry her. Not out of love or the ache of their heart, but rather due to the strong pull of money. Tull, a powerful member of the Mormon Church, desperately wants to marry Jane, but is unable to do so because of her strong bond with another man named Bern Venters. To make himself Jane's only priority, Tull banishes Bern from the town, to a life of solitude and misery, and Bern miserably accepts his horrible fate. In order to prudently finish off the job, Tull sends a group of armed men to beat Bern. Lassiter springs into action in the nick of time and saves Bern from the torture he would've endured.Unfortunately, Bern has no option but to run. At this point, Riders of the Purple Sage splits into two different stories. In one story, Bern heads towards a place known as Deception Pass, and falls into love with an infamous outlaw named Bess. At the same time in Cottonwoods, Jane and Lassiter are harassed and robbed. Day after day, Tull and the other Mormons steal all of Jane's property, housing, and cattle. When Tull's men come after her, she convinces Lassiter not to fight and the both of them head on horseback towards Deception Pass.As they run towards Deception Pass, they somehow meet up with Bern and Bess, who have problems of their own. It is revealed to the characters that Bess is the daughter of the late Milly Erne, and Lassiter and Jane know the only way Bern and Bess will survive is on horseback. They give their horses to Bern and Bess, and scramble into a hiding location known as Surprise Valley. The area is full of everything needed to support a family, maybe even an entire civilization, and Surprise Valley's entrance is protected by a gigantic boulder which can be shoved to seal the only entrance to the place. Jane and Lassiter take one last look back upon the land of Utah, as they are pursued, and seal the entrance to Surprise Valley.
