    I had never read any of his books, until I rode up the Rogue River, Oregon, and heard mention of Zane having a cabin up river. I got interested in his ties. I love history and stories of pioneers and indigenous.

    Great read, especially when you have just moved to Arizona. And being originally from Utah, it gives you a more interesting story. Grey is definitely a great story teller. This one irritated the Mormons, but a good story needs a bad guy!!! I’m exploring the northern Arizona and Southern Utah region in my retired years. This story helped make my visits to towns in the region more fun. Frontier men and women were surely tough and lived by a different code than we do today. We should keep more of their ways!

    A good read. Plenty of surprises towards the end. Pay attention to what you read. It might mean something later on.

  • Good ole book.

    I am a retired teacher of both English and History. This book makes me wonder how he ever sold anything he wrote. His attention to detail is miserable as noticed when one burro was taken from the ranch and then suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, having two. His description of the sunrise bathing the face of the eastern cliffs shows his lack of knowledge of things solar. His knowledge of Utah geography is minimal at best. In today’s climate of inclusion and diversity his irrational and misplaced hatred toward “Mormons” is very objectionable.
    I would not recommend this book to anyone.
