The beauty of the forest, the living creatures to be seen scurrying away, the time, distance—everything faded before that stablike pain. To her infinite relief she found that it was the trot that caused this torture. When Ranger walked she did not have to suffer it. Therefore she held him to a walk as long as she dared or until Dale and Bo were almost out of sight; then she loped him ahead until he had caught up.

So the hours passed, the sun got around low, sending golden shafts under the trees, and the forest gradually changed to a brighter, but a thicker, color. This slowly darkened. Sunset was not far away.

She heard the horses splashing in water, and soon she rode up to see the tiny streams of crystal water running swiftly over beds of green moss. She crossed a number of these and followed along the last one into a more open place in the forest. . . Read More

For me, the descriptions and scenes in this book came to life including the rugged and magnificent mountain splendor with its pungent smell of pine and cedar to the high octane stage at the blue smoke filled saloon. The complexity of some of the characters was astounding, particularly that of Tom "L

Western romance heavy on romance

I really didn't enjoy reading this one. There is some very fine descriptive prose - a lot of it. So much that it fills a significant portion of the book. Some of it seemed repetitive. There is also a lot of detail about the beliefs and philosophy of various characters

This book by Zane Grey was unique in that it involved a number of characters. They were certainly individuals in their personalities but they were all dedicated to doing what was right as they understood it in the Wild West.

In the previous week (September 16-23, 2019) I read "The Man of the Forest" by Zane Grey, published 1919, saw the movie "Ad Astra," released 2019, and read "Shane" by Jack Shaefer, published 1949. This review is a reflection on all three stories. All three

I read this book as part of my project to read the best-selling book of every year for the past 100 years. This was the best selling book of 1920. I have decided I really like Zane Grey's writing style. This book would not be written today, with the racism and misogyny of the times, and the damsel-i

This was the second book of his that I read and

Although he started out as a cowboy and still occasionally visits the village of Pine, 30-year-old Milt Dale prefers the solitary life of a hunter. Roaming the White Mountains of Arizona accompanied only by his semi-tame cougar, Dale’s woodsmanship is sufficient to supply him with everything he need

Profound & Rewarding Adventure

Hooked early with a well constructed drama, the underlying spiritual theme gave pause to how the West was won by the physically determined and morally strong.

Very well-written, descriptive, and captivating. Grey does well developing several different characters in the story, including Dale, Helen, Bo, and the cowboy Las Vegas. It's interesting how a lot of the hero's role is given to Las Vegas in the climax of the action. The author demonstrates the cont
