4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Grey., July 5, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Betty Zane (Ohio River Trilogy) (Paperback)

The all emcompassing "western writer", Zane Grey, portrays the pioneer life in a vivid realistic manner. Although the reader knows that it is fiction it is impossible not to feel that one is part of the unfolding drama. Betty Zane comes alive as she battles pride, traitors, and Indians to reach the arms of her lover Alfred Clarke. Mixed in this romance is the chilling fight for life by the whole pioneer settlement of Fort Henery. When completed the reader cannot help but be awed by pioneer life and the elequont writing of Zane Grey.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read, December 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Twin Sombreros (Hardcover)

One of my favorite Zane Grey books. Brazos Keene is a cowboy with an honorable streak. When he stumbles into an injust situation he just can't walk away. A man has been killed and the dead man's twin siters are being forced off their ranch. Brazos decides to help them find the killers and get their ranch back. If you enjoy westerns, especially Grey's westerns, you'll enjoy this one. It has an excellent story with a lot of action and a little romance for the hero on the side. For those of you who wondered what happened to Brazos after Knights of the Range ended, you will be pleased with this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've read over 60 of Grey's books and this is rates high., April 27, 1998

This review is from: Betty Zane (Ohio River Trilogy) (Paperback)

As a lover of the American West, I have read all of Zane Grey's western novels. This book is one of his very best. He combines his usual descriptive scenery as well as historical scenes in a very interesting fashion. As a woman, I believe this is one of his most romantic novels. The innocence of the relationships during this time period is just as exciting as a modern novel. I highly recommend this book as reading for all sexes.
